One of the techniques that I liked using in Lightroom was a radial gradient to enhance lighting and focus attention. When trying to replicate in darktable, I can only seem to do a linear gradient. Is a radial gradient possible in darktable?
@ayro and @s7habo I would like to say what makes darktable so much better for me than LR or Rawtherapee is the masking capabilities. You can draw the shape using a circle, ellipse or my favourite paths option and then feather and blur the radius to get an invisible seamless transition. Also make sure to read the manual to understand how these drawn masks can be managed and the same mask used across multiple modules. The parametric masks are another powerful option in Darktable. Darktables masking makes LR’s masks look pretty sad in my view. I am not trying to knock LR, but just want to recognise one of DT’s strengths.
