Those who've seen any of my posts about Darktable will likely groan at reading this again, but. Not having used Lightroom before, I believe the image quality is likely on par with that program which most people use.I thought it worth picking up on this. 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. But what keeps me is the quality of the raw conversion.
