![]() ![]() What keeps me is the quality of the raw conversion. Share your Darktable experiences and pictures! Here's an image that had basically nothing but my "Landscape Sunny Day Pop" style applied, and then it was cropped to 16:9. There's some quirks but nothing that keeps me from making this my program of choice. In summary, what I like about Darktable is that it can be as deep or as simple as you'd like. They can be found closer to the top and are the ones with my name on them (Christian). I have recently uploaded a few styles to the page, as well. Use t3mujinpack styles if you want to have the film look applied to JPEGs. Also, only apply them on RAW files, as they don't look right when applied to JPEGs. This one (and the B&W with a twist, mentioned earlier) make good use of the split toning module, which is such a powerful tool within Darktable and one I have also been using to make my color pictures look a bit more "vintage".įor people used to the Xtrans emulations in RawTherapee (I used them a lot after I found them), they are available for Darktable here: dt styles for arangast's "New Fujifilm XTrans film simulations" - darktable - ĭon't use the ones in the page! The ones in the page work much better. For a warm B&W style, the "Mirco Kassisch" is my favorite. The t3mujinpack Acros emulation is very nice as well. For black and white, there's one called "B&W with a twist (less sharpen)" that I think is fantastic, but I'm no B&W connoisseur. They emulate the strengths of these films but none of the weaknesses IMHO, so no grain, no reduced dynamic range like you would see in more "accurate" emulations. These are film emulations but are not just that. In fact, if all you do is do a batch conversion of RAWs to JPEGs using just this preset, most if not all of your pictures will look better than what the Pentax JPEG engine can do (I have K-S1, K50 and K10D - newer Pentax cameras will have improved JPEG engines so this statement might not apply to them). This is the perfect starting point to any picture. I have used and highly recommend the following styles: Find it here: - a darktable styles repository Not having used Lightroom before, I believe the image quality is likely on par with that program which most people use.įinally, I have to mention the styles page that is also very helpful. My OS of choice - Linux Ubuntu.But what keeps me is the quality of the raw conversion. In essence, Darktable is extremely efficient in distributing the load across cores and GPU as appropriate and might even allow you to work with other programs in parallel without hogging resources. The MB doesnt even bother to spin the fans faster. ![]() ![]() I see that only 60% untilisation on the CPU (all threads) and <50% RAM. so I sometimes run a 70+ full-frame 16-bit HDR stitch with Hugin and continue working on DT in parallel without any stress nor lag. I must confess that at the time of the build, I did go a bit overboard (for the year 2020) on the CPU and RAM ThreadRipper 3960X / 64G RAM - so I'm hoping that I I'll not see a lag in DT for the next 3 years at least :-D. Jack+1, I suffer no lag with OpenCL enabled despite my GPU being at the low end of Pro segment (Radeon™ Pro WX 3200). Using opencl leads to n 8-10x reduction in computation time on my workstation and makes working with large datasets easy. It also has opencl v1.2 support which is sufficient to offload computation to the graphics card of those modules that have been written to take advantage of opencl. It can take advantage of a multicore CPU easily. I usually end up using Affinity for anything like that.ĭarktable uses OpenMP to parcel out its thread support. I've not had good success with the retouch module. But since 3.0 came out it's been just a mess.I'm on 3.6.0 still. I used to love DarkTable, used it exclusively around version 2.6 I think, when I opened this thread. Maybe I'll try DarkTable again in a year or two to see if they made it useable again. So I just uninstalled DarkTable and will use Corel Aftershot Pro 3 instead for retouch until the new version of RawTherapee is out. RawTherapee is due a retouch module by the end of the year. It's the reason I even kept darktable - for when I need retouch which RawTherapee doesn't have. Tried all different options, same result. You select the area to retouch and the retouch won't do anything. Then when I get it working again, the retouch module is broken. I got around to installing 3.6.1 today, was using 3.6.0 and didn't notice too many bugs (Darktable is usually a little buggy and unstable but it hasn't been bad with 3.6.0).įirst image I open, after a couple of minutes it crashes. ![]()
