Blender AgX in darktable (proof of concept)

Attached is a link to a “portable” version. Just run the run_dt.bat file to start the program. I recommend disabling sidecar creation and observing the precautions cited by @kofa here.

thanks.

If you don’t have it: are you sure you’re running the right version?

Yes. I just checked it as you suggested.

Can you share a screenshot and upload an XMP file where agx is applied to an image?

Since I ran multiple DTs. in osx as well as VertualBox. I have turned off XMPs.
I have only this version in the MX-Linux VB.
I have enclosed three screenshots of settings of the Agx



Oh, looking at my post, I found it. It is after tone mapping, one the left side. :sweat_smile:

No, @kofa , I have used agx quite a bit, but not with LED stage lights and such. My testing is not as thorough as yours. Also, I have never used blender. Overall, it just produces really nice images.

This is my first attempt to run a Blender AgX version. I have the portable running, but I can’t find AgX. I’ve looked through all the module layouts without success.

just type agx in the search??

@kofa What happened? The “reverse all” not seen in latest Nightly after your PR?

It’s a PR, needs to be reviewed and merged. It’s not on master, yet.

If I were you, I’d go with the master branch, not with the experimental builds.

Thank you. I saw your push prior to Nightly in the Action. Thought it was already implemented. I am new to githab. I tried in the past to build from source and each time halfway through the brew fails. Since no more Nightlys are available for osx_86, I rely on my linux virtualbox and roughly every 10 days on MStraeten’s built.
I want to thank you for Agx. The results are amazing. My plan is to scan 3000+ photo negatives with my new photo scanner and process them by DT.
I am very close to a workflow for DT+Agx. The only thing I am not sure is if I could reorder modules and save them in a style.
As you recommanded in one of your post, new instance of exposure modules needs to be after negadoctor. In addition to exposure, Color Calibration also seems needs to moved too.

There’s a utility module called module order, I’m not sure if it can be added to a style (it’s part of the image history, if changed from the default). I’m not at the computer at the moment.

Yes, the module order can be part of a style.

@kofa @Pascal_Obry could not find any “module order”. So just reorder the modules prior to save it as a style would suffice?

If you create a new style and change the order you get this:

Thank you understood. BTW the two images are identical. Am I missing in those images?
