Hi @s7habo, I have a couple of ideas for future videos. I’ve just finished watching episode 86, so apologies if either of these have been broached in your latest video.
1: Techniques for localized contrast. Further to discussions in this thread and this one, I would like to see how you approach contrast in specific tonal ranges. For example, if you wanted crunchy highlights (while leaving the rest of the image alone), which modules would you use? I’m particularly interested in how you use Tone EQ for very narrow ranges of the image and/or the masks tab of Color Balance RGB to dial in contrast exactly where you want it (not globally). I envisage this as a more advanced tutorial for people who are already very familiar with Darktable but still looking for cool and/or unfamiliar techniques. Maybe you also know tricks with blending modes for this kind of thing or modules that are otherwise ignored?
2: Blending modes. I know you have already done videos on this topic, but maybe a new one exploring which are the most useful blending modes and when to use them. I particularly like the idea of a “cheat sheet” or way to know what to expect when you use specific blending modes, because the names of them don’t always give you much of a clue. I really like the trick of using a blur with the multiply blend mode to create soft contrast, so anything like this would be really great stuff.
Anyway, thanks for everything you do, and I hope this gives you some ideas for future videos!
