darktable 3.0.1 released

Thanks a lot.

No problem, my answer was just a statement. Welcome here !

Another basic embarrassing beginners question:

I like to adjust exposure with a value that looks similar to the camera exposure because I often do +1 or +2 when the light is a bit low. I then do -1 or -2 in exposure to get the correct light (with less noise, hopefully).

What is a better module, exposure or basic adjustments ? The 3.0.1 basic adjustments has vibrance as a bonus, very attractive.

Can I set the -1 etc in filmic RGB , seems not, or?

You need to choose whether you want to use basic adjustments or filmic (don’t use both at the same time). If you want to use former, use basic adjustments module to adjust exposure. In the case of filmic, you can use the exposure module to set exposure (or otherwise set the mid grey point in filmic itself)

Darktable 3.0.1 is much more reliable than 3.0.0 (windows version). The center view and/or the thumbnail had a tendency to go black in darkroom mode when adjusting the tone equalizer mask. Apparently, this and other “blackout” problems has been eliminated……:grinning:. Great work!

I think that darktable.org should be updated to download and install 3.0.1.

3.0.1 looks and runs terrific, and built very easily under Debian Linux.

(if this isn’t the right place to post this, I’ll apologize in advance) I’m not sure if there’s a bug, or I’m doing something wrong - I’m trying to pick a different Nikon lens under “Lens Correction”, and the list of lenses doesn’t scroll - I can’t scroll to the lens I want to correct for. It’s listed in slr-nikon.xml (the LensFun database), but I can’t see it in the Darktable list because the list is so long.

Using the arrow keys I can get to lenses that I can’t see, but I can’t see the actual choice until after it’s been selected.

It’s ok on my side. It’s probably Gtk related so which Gtk version do you have ?

(in case my reply email didn’t get to you)

I’ve got the dev packages for both 2 and 3 installed. However, if I do an ldd of the darktable executable, I see:

libgtk-3.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007fcafd753000)

That doesn’t show the Gtk version. You could have it with: apt show libgtk-3-0 and check Version line. For example, on my system (Ubuntu), I have Version: 3.24.14-1ubuntu1

darktable use Gtk 3 but you could have some issues with Gtk older than 3.24.8 (or 3.24.7 can’t really remember which one).

“Version: 3.24.5-1”

If there’s not an easy fix for this, I might try to modify the appropriate lensfun database to get rid of lenses I don’t need, to shorten the list.

(and before I forget, thanks for your time!)

This regression in master with input color profiles seems to be now also affecting 3.0.1 on windows

In addition to

Not sure on which Gtk version the scrolldown issue were fixed but maybe on 3.24.7 or 3.24.8. So if my memory is not too bad here, the best fix you could have would be the possibility to update Gtk to at least 3.24.8 version. Workaround you suggest is also a possibility but I suggest you to keep a copy of the original files before.

Oh, absolutely, I’ve gotten burned far too many times on “this fix is easy!” over the years!

(my son told me last night that the scrolling works fine on his Arch system, too, he’s probably got a later version of the library, though)

As Arch is a rolling release, probability that he have a more recent release of Gtk library is quite big !

I’m sorry, Nilvus, I forgot to get back to you, trimming the slr-nikon.xml files worked for me, though I’ll definitely look at other solutions in the future.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi @emanuelnk and welcome.

Operating system?
From where did you obtain darktable?

Have fun!

@Claes
I got this problem on Linux ubuntu 18.04

Darktable Version 3.0.1

downloaded it through the command line

I am now installing it to windows to check if it happens also there

btw, if it is not a huge task i can also do this, (Im currently studying for my masters in computer science and have 4 years experience in programming In C++, Python, C# and Java)

thanks

Through the command line? From what source?

You see: it works just fine here…
If you still encounter problems, upload one of your RAWs here…
(just drag it into your reply)

Addendum: uh-oh – my sample (which worked) turned out to be from a 6000. Sorry 'bout that!

I just grepped through dt and RT sources, couldn’t find the camera. Rather new camera, just needs the data.

A bit dated, but this page outlines the sort of data required:

Particularly, color primaries are needed. An early source of these for new cameras is the Adobe DNG converter; I just looked through the DCPs from version 12.2 that I downloaded a few weeks ago, and I don’t see anything there for the A6100.

The cutting edge hurts sometimes…
