I would like to thank to person who implemented this feature.
I played with it recently and it makes things a lot easier and fun.
E.g. i tried to salvage this photo i took when i first tried to do some portraits with new K5IIs camera (and manual M50 f1.4 lens).
Certainly does look better now!
Can you share how you created the mask to export?
Thanks!
Thank you.
I created quick path in drawn mask tab and applied some feathering (for the mask to follow edges).
Then in export module i choose tiff and store masks option.
you can see the example in s7habo’s video @5.55
And then you have used the tiff with the mask as layer in e.g. GIMP to replace the background?
Indeed, i opened the tiff in bitmap editor (masks were additional layers) and used another image as background. I wasn’t precise enough with mask in darktable, so on few places i tweaked the mask a bit in bitmap editor.
( I used different bitmap editor tho but that’s not so important, you can use krita/gimp for the bg replacement or to convert the multi-page tiff to different format as e.g. psd for use in bitmap editors which don’t support such tiff file. I did also patialy copy hair from left side to the right as there were lacking volume there. )
The reverse approach is possible too. You can e.g. misuse the watermark module to bring different image to darktable.
I used it here for sky replacement here: Colour Grading Exercise - #30 by danny
Thanks for your quick answer and for mentioning the reverse approach too.
