Defringe rawtherapee7/31/2023 ![]() RT is very good, agreed, however in terms of workflow, DT is way ahead. ![]() How did you manage to get proper demosaic in AfterShot? I was getting something ridiculous )) Only advantage that ASPro has over RT is that i can sometimes give cleaner output, in terms of noise. Corel AfterShor pro was also very good, but I miss some of the things that RT has. I also used darktable for a while, but eventually settled on RawTherapee, which I found to be most complete in every term. Since I'm a linux user for the past 9-10 years, I tried every software for raw developing in linux that exist. Simple for starting and then you can add/remove according your needs However, there's option to have your favourite modules (star-like tab), where you can put only what you need, for example: exposure, denoise, white balance, shadows and highlights. I do agreed, there are plenty of different modules and not sure if practically anyone uses all of them, or like me, just playing around sometimes. I used Lightzone before Darktable and Rawtherapee adapted dcraw (for Xtrance), and find two last one more easy to use in my work-flow, but may be I hadn't used it enough Wherever images are located, all the time I "open images just from a directory only" old fashion way And then copy them somewhere else on a hard disk. Around 60% of my images I develop in RAM copying everything in tmpfs, usually /run/shm/. I do not like database type of software either (to be platform/software dependent) and not really sure Darktable is one of them (all your changes are saved in xmp files along with *.RAF files and only the thumbnails cached in $HOME/.cache/darktable). But that indeed a matter of learning.Īctually, under Linux or Windows (at work) I use Lightzone, a formerly commercial software, now developed as a free software which is one of the first to support Fuji X RAF on Linux and give very nice results. Other thing is there not enough simplicity in the module organisation and can give the impression to be lost. It is really powerful, but not really intuitive, and one thing I don't like, is that it is based on a database (like LR and other software) and can't simply open an image from a directory. looks quite good at 200 to 800 ISOĪs Linux User, I test sometime Darktable, but I didn't yet adopt it. ![]() I'm currently using radium 0.8, quantity 1.5, threshold 0.250. What setting are you using as far as SHARPNESS is concerned with fuji Raw files? I've also been trying to cope with parametric masks in order to recover highlight only in some parts of the image. I'll try some tweaking with the base curve, then. It's not that difficult as may look at first glance Double clicking on the graph will make the curve flat maximizing the dinamic range of your picture it can be a very good starting point. You can drastically bring back any overexposed area (withing RAW range of course) playing with the curve. If you look at the "base curve" it should be in "fujifilm like" mode by default which brings up highlights up too much for my test. Then highlights slider doesn't work that great as in LightRoom, however I discovered another way to get it all back. Then I started using bilateral filter in the module it removed completely halos. I've been using Darktable for about 3 years now and highlights was really what didn't work for me initially. How does it compare to Darktable, based on your experience? I have not tried Lightroom (neither 5 nor 6) with FUJI RAFs, since my lightroom trial has expired. What kind of demosaicing method do you use? Markesteijn 3 for me, seems to be better than others. It's a pity we don't have chromatic aberration correction for Xtrans, yet (would be useful with my samyang 12mm f2). ![]() Indeed, I love the equalizer, curves, colors, defringe, and the use of parametric masks. I still don't like some modules, such as highlights and shadows (not working well in my opinion, halos are so heavy!), and I think that noise removal is worse compared to competitors. It's rich of functions and complete, richer than Lightroom. Yes, the learning curve is steep, but I love this software. I have used Darktable for 2 years now as my main (and almost only) raw developer for Canon, and now for Fuji. ![]()
