Darktable, awesome but real confusing
Lighttable
Lighttable is for organizing the photo set.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| . | Switch between Lighttable and Darkroom |
| l | Go to lighttable |
| r | Reject image |
| Ctrl A, 1 1 | Batch undo reject (apply 1 star, remove 1 star) |
| G (top right) | Collapse groups to select only jpeg/raw for eg styling |
Darkroom
Darkroom is for photo editing.
Basics
- sharpen: radius 2, amount 0.5, threshold 0.5
- levels: auto
- local contrast: detail 130% if you’re brave
- shadows highlights: shadows 20, highlights -20
RAWs
- tone curve: otherwise contrast fubared
- equalizer (get rid of chroma noise): chroma tab, bring right half of bottom line up
Optionals
- color correction: make it orange, orange is cool
