I really miss dodge and burn tool in darktable. […] It is a very meditative activity and you feel a little bit like a painter.

Me too, hence Wiring darktable with Krita [nsfw]

@snibgo

I’m looking forward to a computer interface where I can make shadow shapes with my hands to dodge and burn like I use to under the enlarger. It’s a very intuitive way of working, once you get used to it.

Kinect controllers have been used for that kind of motion-controlled UI in the past. But managing drivers is a PITA for an app.
