Blender AgX in darktable (proof of concept)

I always thought it is “Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache”

I think every language is beautiful in its own way.

I once had the doubtful joy to learn Latin. Anyway, It extended my school time for a year. And looking back, school time was a beautiful time, wasn’t it. :laughing:

I think this is closer to the truth :laughing:
I never could remember where to use der, die, dem etc., it was a guessing game for me most of the time :joy:

Dunkeltisch!

I did my doctorate in North Wales, and lived on the island ( Ynys Môn). The town of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch was just down the road

We have Dildo, Newfoundland… short and to the point :slight_smile:

Some one had to break this and bring it back to AGX …

Austria sports Petting and Fucking, although the latter was sensibly renamed in 2021

I’d like to say that so far I love this module. I really liked sigmoid over filmic and had already made that my default before v.5 came out but AgX is even a step above that and honestly just going with the punchy smooth preset nails the photo more times than not.

I do have a question about using relative white and black levels when I’m trying to profile to my cameras’ capabilities. I understand that those value are mapping the RAW to an EV range but is there any relationship with the dynamic range of the actual camera sensor, for example if my camera has 9 stops of dynamic range should my relative black and white be set about 9 stops a part, at least as a starting point?

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by profiling but usually you are adjusting these around middle gray or the pivot you have selected to give your image the global tonality you want. It will assign an EV range above and below that to map or compress the data…

There is the town of Condom in France. We have friends who live close to the village of Slack Bottom in West Yorkshire.

All we can boast is a nearby village called Dull, which is twinned with Boring in Oregon.

In New Zealand we have Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukaka­piki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu. Which is the name of a hill. It means “The hill where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his flute to his loved one”

Well, in Hungary, we have Bugyi (“panties”), Heréd (“your testicle”) and Pornóapáti (~ “porn abbot”). There’s also the multi-faceted “Bélapátfalva” (“B’s spade village” or “Béla’s calcite village” or “The village of Gut, the calcite” (bél = gut, intestine) or “The village of abbot Bél”, the last of which is, of course, closest to the origin of the name: it used to belong to a family/tribe called “Bél”, and it was the village next to a monastery, and it used to be called “the village of the abbot”). Or Hatvan (“sixty”), which happens to be almost exactly 60 km from Budapest, the capital (the name has nothing to do with that, of course).

In Germany we have “Lederhose” which translates to leather trousers and there is “Linsengericht” meaning meal cooked from lentiles.
Seems like people tend to be very similar all over the world.

I’m sure there are settlements with funny names everywhere, especially if you mix languages. In Switzerland, we have “Wankdorf” (Dorf = “village”).

Maybe we should move to the Lounge? :smiley:

Yes, we are derailing this thread a bit. I’m travelling at the moment. I will come back with some reviewing of the manual next week.

If anyone uses the Classic darktable and the AgX-ImageApp in parallel, you may find the icon helpful to differentiate between the variants.
