Salut Paul ! Indeed I forgot to mention that my solution 1 crops inside the image. But most often, a few pixels cropped form the border will still work, unless you’re used to have razor precision in your shot framing.
Solution 2 is what I’d use, like Alberto said, it has the advantage of being usable in batch. Oh, and you can also add a drop shadow effect:
#!/bin/bash
d=$(mktemp -d)
ART-cli --progress -f -s -Y -j -o "$d" -c "$@" 2>"$d/error" |
zenity --width=500 --progress --auto-close --text="Adding border..."
for i in $d/*.jpg; do
convert "$i" -strip -bordercolor white -border 3%x2% \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x30+30+20 \) +swap -background white -layers merge +repage -set filename:f "[destination/folder]/%t_border.%e" +adjoin "%[filename:f]"
done
rm -rf "$d"
At Thermopylae, Leonidas has been - allegedly, but yes, most certainly and successfully - using RawTherapee’s mighty set of Lab Adjustments as a final touch-up before the battle, while Xerxes was completely stuck and paralysed by the useless green/magenta curve.
But no, I will not even mention this here.
The 21th century art of photography might depend on a single unfortunate decision, but I will not even mention this.
There is something I find a little strange. I use a lot the move files to another directory feature which is now hidden in the rename menu. However, the folder that is implicitly set is the last folder I used to move files. I would expect it to be set to the folder where the files currently are.
By default, could the next picture be displayed directly in full screen, even the former was cropped ? Idem after a simple rotation for the same picture ?
In the “Local Processing” group, “Color/Tonal Correction” module:
There are the following sliders:
Highlights/Gain
Shadows/Unblock
Midtones/Gamma
Pivot
Increasing the light, even modestly, creates a slightly grayish whiteness, a sort of haze, particularly on parts of the image in darker areas.
Perhaps adding the “Exposure Compensation” slider within the “Color/Tonal Correction” module would avoid this grayish, hazy effect and allow masks to be created directly with exposure.
In the Local Adjustments tab, would it be possible to have a button to open/close the big chromatic wheel ? Reason : lot of us use more the masks with provided sliders or with CTL and therefore have to scroll a lot to go to the maks
When a new layer is created, it would be nice for the mask name (text) field to be focused by default. I always name layers so I can keep track of what I’m doing and having that field focused by default would be great.
