I hope you don’t mind me asking a slightly off-topic question about the way you
present your (snapshot) end result.

You do this full screen and I am able to reproduce this by first collapsing the right panel, then the left panel, taking a snapshot, unhide the left panel, select top in history then selecting the snapshot, go full screen again by collapsing the left panel. A lot of steps that I do not see in your video.

Is this just clever video editing on your side or is there a better way to do al this. For instances: is it possible to collapse both left and right panel at the same time.

Please let me know if you don’t want this off-topic thing in this thread, I’ll remove this post.

@Jade_NL

For instances: is it possible to collapse both left and right panel at the same time.

Yes, TAB key.

I have also bound a key to create the snapshot (S) in preferences - shortcuts - modules - snapshot - take snapshot

I then do this by first selecting the first step in the history, pressing TAB, pressing “s” key, pressing TAB again to have both side menus again, activate Snapshot, press TAB again and then I have Snapshot in the window without side menus.

@s7habo
From your last video I observed (if I am not mistaken), you have the same issue, what I finally have reported here:

https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/4820

[s7habo (Boris Hajdukovic)]

Yeah, but I think it’s normal. The new colour has to be calculated and that takes time. You also have this delay if you lighten or darken the standard color very much. My problem is rather that chroma offset sliders are connected to the saturation slider, so you can’t change hue without increasing saturation.

New episode: black and white :

Editing moments with darktable. Episode 30: quick edits (black and white)

[Jade_NL (Jacques)]

You have done black & white before, but I was hoping you would do a B&W quick-edit one of these days…

Don’t know if you remember from the Shades of Brown thread but I’m trying to get back into (digital) B&W after some disappointments, so this one is rather welcome.

BTW: Nice music!

[s7habo (Boris Hajdukovic)]

Thanks @Jade_NL! I’m glad you like it.

[AxelG]

Regardless I like color grading or not, the videos you create, they are simply brilliant!

Thank you!

I tried a few times to get my head round this “channel mixer” module but yet have to obtain good results with it … I really have to take a closer look at theses modules (color balance & channel mixer).
Thanks for the really good video !

[Jade_NL (Jacques)]

Not sure if you are aware, but there are 2 other threads here on Pixls that deal with the channel mixer:

Please help me to understand "Channel Mixer"

I am very confused what is the purpose to adjust other colors in certain color channel. I understand basically there is a color wheel, what color is opposite of what color, however the other colors (e.g green/blue in red channel) don’t seem to follow the rule at all. The Rawpedia has some very limited information, I am looking for some better tutorial, and ideally some real world examples - how to achieve some effect by adjusting what. Thanks

And this recent one:

New Channel Mixer thread... how do you channel mix?

I have noticed that you don’t have base curve and also no filmic but have channel mixture, can you please explain, so the first instance of local contrast is with blend mode multiply? And second normal?

Anyway, hope this helps.

thanks a lot

Bonsoir Boris, J’ai regardé avec attention cette vidéo. Je t’ai envoyé un message sur ta chaine youtube auquel tu m’a répondu (Alain).
J’ai appliqué les réglages sur une photo, mais n’arrive pas à traiter le ciel correctement. En rajoutant du contraste, augmentant la tonalité pour faire ressortir les nuages, du grain apparaît. La photo est prise à 100 iso, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce grain apparaît dans le ciel. Je suis sans solution.
J’aimerai te soumettre mon raw + .xmp. pour que tu me dise peut-être où est mon problème. Est tu d’accord ?

[s7habo (Boris Hajdukovic)]

Bonjour, @AlainC . Bienvenue au Forum !
Malheureusement, je ne parle pas français et j’utilise un service de traduction sur Internet :

DeepL Translate: The world's most accurate translator

J’espère que vous comprendrez ma réponse.

Si vous changez beaucoup les couleurs, il peut arriver que vous ayez du bruit, même si vous avez pris des photos avec des valeurs ISO faibles. Dans ce cas, je recommande d’utiliser le module Denoise (profilé) pour éliminer le bruit.

Si vous voulez proposer votre fichier brut, ce forum a une catégorie pour cela :

Play Raw

Vous pouvez y créer un nouveau poste et proposer votre fichier brut et xfc à l’édition. Vous pouvez également y décrire votre problème. Mais en anglais. Il est très important que vous choisissiez une licence libre pour votre fichier, par exemple l’une d’entre elles :

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

Ensuite, les personnes du forum vous aideront et proposeront également leurs propres modifications. Je serai certainement heureux de consulter votre fichier raw et xcf.

[AlainC]

Thank you for your answer. I didn’t realize I copied the wrong column from the translator.
I tried the Denoise module, but the clouds were too smooth. I’ll post it on the forum tomorrow. Concerning the license, you necessarily need one?

[s7habo (Boris Hajdukovic)]

@AlainC

I’ll post it on the forum tomorrow.

Good. I’ll take a look at it.

@AlainC

Concerning the license, you necessarily need one?

Yes, this is important for legal security for your copyrights and that the people who want to edit the raw file have permission to do so.

The CC address I gave is just an example. You can choose one for yourself at Creative Commons. If you can’t make up your mind, the best thing to do is look at some examples in the Play Raw category and decide.

New episode: Color balance module demonstration :

Editing moments with darktable. Episode 32: demonstration of color balance module

[Ivan_M76]

Your videos are always the best!

Color Balance is one of the modules i can’t live without.

I would be really curious to see your edit on the image of mine of you want

Bucolic Peruvian Scene

[Bbawt (Brian)]

A terrific video, Boris. Really helped me with the color balance module. I have two questions hoping you or others could help with:

First, why does the saturation in slope have much more adjustment room, less room in power, and then very little in offset - you barely adjust saturation to have a big impact. Is there a reference somewhere that explains this?

Second question is about the color pickers. If you use the eyedropper in power, hue and pick the entire image, is it picking the average hue of the mid-tones? In your 4th edit, you pick a small sample on the tree - I don’t understand what the resulting adjustment is doing.

I looked in the manual on the eyedroppers but it wasn’t very clear to me what they do.
