I set aside my Oly EM-10ii after 10ish years, and bought a OMD E-M5.
– I really like the OOC jpgs more!
– It will aggressively boost the ISO when in auto, compared to the conservative em10.
Lots of learning to do here. But it rained on me 90% of the time we were in Spain, so the weather sealing was terrifying and incredibly useful.
Anyways…
I don’t know what I am doing. I pull a string on the modules, and watch what it does to the picture. Repeat dozens of times, and sometimes I am happy with the result. But with the new RAWs, I am hitting a problem consistently – there seems to be a slightly green tinge to my raws. I generally try to replicate the OOC look just to practice with darktable, and then improve from there. But in many of my photos, the raws are just frustrating me. (Yes, i tried the built in style, same problem but worse).
It is a green? tinge, and it uglies the blue sky and my monkey loses his glow. I keep going back to the color calibration module, but I am not sure this is the right thread to pull. Or, i am on the right track but doing it wrong…
Anyways, I would love a pointer on how to re-glow my monkey. And the cave picture has the same issue, but even more pronounced.
Edit / OOC
I think it’s best to use an input profile for your camera, as Darktable doesn’t have one and uses a generic one. darktable user manual - input color profile
Here is my proposal with an icc profile made with Dcamproof. Olympus_E-M5.icc (520 Bytes)
I think I went down the ICC path a while ago. I had color cards, all sorts of test images, and it all accomplished NOTHING useful.
Thank you for the file you provided - It seems to have been EXACTLY what I was needing. The one piece of the puzzle that may make life with darktable suddenly easier? Or I will overuse it while not fully understanding, like curves and color calibration!
I experimented with lowering greens via the other methods listed here - I appreciate the inputs. I got so overwhelmed by the options, I forgot there were simple ones.
Anyways, my monkey looks like what I remember. He is glowy.
