Color Balance RGB: select by hue presets

Thank you for the share

4.2.0 works fine for me. Use the presets very often.

I installed them in the past but they work well in 4.2 for me.

Iā€™ve the same problem.

In the *.dtpresets file I find: </op_params><op_version>4</op_version>
In my own *.dtpresets file I find: </op_params><op_version>5</op_version>

I figured this was just to make sure old edits work in new versions. Is it a bug in darktable (4.2)?

Were you able to change anything which made the presets work @herbert-50?

Yes:

  1. Install dt 3.8 on another machine
  2. Install the presets
  3. Update to 4.2
  4. Export the presets
  5. Import them in 4.2 on my main machine

I would make them available here, but I am not the author.

I hereby ask @MarcoNex if you can share the updated presets. :smile:

I am on darktable 4.2 (archlinux). After import the presets were grayed out. I restarted darktable and the presets work fine.

I use Darktable 4.2.0 and these presets work for me, but only after restarting DT.

Yes I can confirm that.

(Why didnā€™t I think of that sooner :thinking:. Ok, Iā€™m just not a typical Windows user.)

Restarted. Works. Thanks @anon42681393, @Thomas_Do and @herbert-50.

I will share updated presets, but I am currently away from home, please wait a few days

Thank you @MarcoNex I use your presets all the time since you published them for the first time.
Can you give a short explanation on why you excluded and separated the lower cromaticity levels into the preset 9? Is there a special use case for that?
Kind regards
Roland

Well, I took inspiration from Color Editor in Capture One, which is the SW I used before DT.
As you can see by default when you pick a color, the low chromaticity areas are excluded.

Moreover, I had color grading in mind, that is basically shifting colors and more often than not you want neutral hues to remain neutral.
But feel free to change that, itā€™s pretty easy.
