For the article by you cited, concentrate for now on the section “A minimal workflow for beginners”, and use the four modules mentioned there in that order.įor filmic, start with the white and black relative exposure in the “scene” tab, then switch to the “look” tab. They don’t do what many commercial tools do: they don’t default to a ‘camera look’. Note that raw processors discussed here will give you the flat looking, straight-from-sensor image if you disable all optional tools / modules. You’ll probably want to keep orientation, too, as that makes sure that portrait-mode shots are properly rotated. The reason is that unlike base curves (display-referred, also applied in-camera), filmic does not brighten the image: it keeps midtones fixed.įor an image as low-contrast as what you posted above, you can get away without a tone mapping operator, but for a high-contrast landscape, you cannot. You’ll probably also want to keep exposure enabled, as, at least with the scene-referred flow, most images need an exposure boost. However, you’ll probably want to keep white balance (without that, your images will look green - it is the module responsible for applying the camera’s white balance setting). You also need display-referred if you are using HSL operators because if RGB > 1, S < 0 (I think colorize…įor the others, you can create auto-applied presets, where you first disable the module, and save that disabled state as a preset, marking it to be applied automatically. You need non-linear display-referred if you are using blending modes like soft light, overlay, hard light, darken, etc. To go to non-linear display-referred, you need some sort of non-linear tone curve that raises the midtones while keeping white as-is.
#DARKTABLE USERS FORUMS CODE#
If RGB code values are bounded in AND middle-grey = 50%, you are in non-linear display-referred. "Aurelien said : basecurve is bad" darktable That’s probably the reason that you cannot prevent darktable to add them (except for filmic if you select “none” in settings :: processing :: auto apply pixel workflow default). Also, disabled modules don’t participate in the pixel pipe calculations, so add negligable time to the processing. To check the effect each has, there’s an easy option: turn them off by hand and observe the effect.īut they can be switched off, because for each there are alternative ways to get the same effect (at least in theory). orientation ensures that an image you took in portrait orientation is displayed as such (or allows you to change the orientation), it shouldn’t do anything for landscape images.exposure may not be strictly necessary, but applies a correction that practice has shown to be required in most cases.filmic adapts the sensor data to display.highlight reconstruction prevents magenta highlights (though in the default case it doesn’t “reconstruct” anything), or doesn’t do anything if there aren’t any clipped pixels.
