That’s actually what I’ve been doing and it works perfectly almost all the time.
… except I didn’t pay attention to the ordering of the stack of dodges and burns respect to the tone equalizer, so thanks for that @garrett, I will pay attention to it from now on. Probably some weird behavior I was having on some of my edits were caused by that.
But, actually, my wording wasn’t right because I was thinking also about painting, cloning, removing distracting elements, etc. when I was thinking about dodge and burn.
Some of that can be done in DT too with some spot removal and retouch trickery but that makes DT lag a lot after a few module instances on my machine.
For studio photography I probably never would go out of darktable, but for street photography I need to clean up quite a lot some of the images.
