What’s new in Darktable 2.6 Like the last few Christmases have done, this one too gave us a brand new version of my favourite image processing software, Darktable.

Black and White in Darktable
Black and white is a genre as old as photography itself. Back then it was the only way, if you wanted colours you had to get out your crayons and colour the print. These days we do it the opposite way. We take a colour image and make it black and white. Of course black…Les mer Black and White in Darktable
How to use Darktable’s Mask Manager
When making local adjustments in Darktable, one of the ways to isolate a part of an image is to use drawn masks. These can be combined in a number of ways, more than you can accomplish directly in the module where you make them. They can also be reused in other modules, and organized in…Les mer How to use Darktable’s Mask Manager
Sharpening in Darktable
Sharpening is a very delicate subject. It should be used with great care, and mostly to give a little bit of extra pop to already reasonably sharp images. It may be tempting to oversharpen in order to "fix" bad focus or motion blur from camera shake, but as this would be the same as restoring…Les mer Sharpening in Darktable

Colour saturation is another of those things that can be adjusted in a number of different ways in Darktable. Did you know that even the Levels module can be used for this? Check out the video below for more! https://youtu.be/RyPHYbjGKSw
Adjusting tones, part 2
It's no good showing things only on custom made test images. We also need real life examples to understand how to apply our new skills to our own images. In todays video I take the things we learned last time and apply them to real images. For example, why is it not a good idea…Les mer Adjusting tones, part 2
New Darktable video
After a few weeks of nothing, I have finally made a new Darktable video. This time all about adjusting the tonal values of an image. This is part one of two covering this topic. In this part I mostly show what the different modules do on a greyscale black to white gradient. This is a…Les mer New Darktable video
Another Darktable video
I was planning to announce all my Darktable videos with a blog post, but so far I have only done it twice. But here is episode 8, about some of the modules in Lighttable mode. The modules I cover in this video is Select, Selected Image(s), History Stack and Styles. There's a lot you can…Les mer Another Darktable video
