Thanks for video! Please note that, some of the initial steps are inconsistent with respect to the modern "Scene Referred" workflow. The manual of DT, strongly recommends to use this workflow and avoid "non linear" "display referred" modules, like e.g. the Local Contrast module. The arguments are very well documented in the initial chapters of the manual. It is also advised to avoid using the "Contrast" slider of the "Color Balance RGB" module and use instead the tone equalizer module for global contrast adjustments, since its usage may void filmic settings in the pixel pipeline.
Hi Dimitris, thanks for commenting. If you've seen any of my previous dt videos you would know that I constantly refer to a scene refered workflow, I also make sure to show how to set that up inside preferences and also the workflow preset. Just so you know, the local contrast is indeed in the scene refered workflow. Everything in this video, even the initial steps are well within the scope of a scene refered workflow.
@@TGPhotoblog Just hovering over the "local contrast" module: input: non-linear, Lab, display referred output: non-linear, Lab, display reffered Strange somehow ? (using DT v. 3.8.1) Anyway, I am glad to know that you refer to the scene referred workflow and how to setup. An yes, it was the first one of your videos that I watched...
I used that opening instrumental song to showcase some of my photos in Adobe Spark (I believe that was the name) and I absolutely loved the end result!
13:08 - IMO you should've stop there. By raising those shadows you made the image look flat. Still a cool stuff BTW. Even after all those years I'm still surprised how good Darktable is.
This was great, thank you. I often find that when I heal or clone a spot on a smooth background (say, remove an electrical socket from a wall), the healed/cloned spot comes out much lighter or darker than the source area. Not sure why, and it is very annoying. Any insight? Can you adjust the brightness of the selected area? My other question is how to prevent the path tool from curving around the selection; sometimes I have to cut out a sharp corner, and it is very difficult to do. I also note that you adjust contrast within the colour balance module, something I never do but will try!
Thank you so much, I had not realized Darktable had removal tool, now, thanks to you, I do.
Thanks for your comment, glad the video gave you something 😊
Nice demo of retouch module. Thanks.
Hi Berny, thanks a lot! And thanks for commenting on the video :)

Local contrast (and Contrast equaliser) is an invaluable tool for me too, because Diffuse and sharpen is highly technical and slow as hell.
Great video as usual!

I think you solarized Doggy ;O) The nice white fur turned slightly grey, as far as I can see, as if he had caught a thin layer of nuclear waste.
