The thing is, more or less every image needs at least exposure, black and white filmic, and cropping. Last come local adjustments if necessary. Then I crop, then add additional adjustments such as color zones, color balance, tone equalizer, denoising, or contrast equalizer. Then I adjust shadow density with the black slider in filmic, and recover highlight color with the white slider in filmic, and adjust white balance to taste. My usual editing workflow in Darktable goes something like this: I start with fixing up exposure, usually by dragging the histogram. But after a few months of this, I discovered that this focus on speed actually went deeper: I discovered that I started processing pictures much more quickly, and this was frankly a revelation in the time-starved months after my second baby’s birth. You move a slider, you see the results of that slider immediately. And from the viewpoint of a darktable user. The present text comes from a few months of more-or-less exclusive use of Capture One, a few thousand edited pictures (all new, not just re-edits of old ones, and implicitly the incentive to recreate another program’s rendering).

And that is of course ignoring the fact that learning a new raw developer represents a serious time investment and are rarely done without external pressure which results in very few accounts that are more than skin deep.
#DARKTABLE VS RAWTHERAPEE 2018 TRIAL#
Not a short stint during its trial period, like last time, but a real, honest investment of money and time.Īnd accounts like these are exceedingly rare: Most people use Lightroom, and if they write a comparative review it is thus from the viewpoint of a Lightroom user. Anyway, long story short, I gave Capture One a serious try.
And two, I was having issues with post processing that may or may not have been related to darktable. But then two things happened: One, my second child was born, and all that precious free time that I had used editing photos evaporated. I had no prior exposure to any other tool whatsoever. That I now want to share.įirst, and skip this paragraph if you’re not interested, why? I learned photography on Linux, on darktable. So here’s a weird one: After using darktable for years, I was “forced” into using Capture One for a few months.
