Hi one and all!
I’m new here, and happy to see that some of you have been waving the banner for me. Thanks heaps! :slight_smile:

Ep 043 is up on youtube now, for those that are interested. :slight_smile:https://youtu.be/i7Ala-RVYpw

I will add future episodes to this thread, rather than starting a new thread for each episode.

Hi, @Bruce_Williams!

Welcome to the Forum!

Your very carefully and professionally elaborated tutorials are very valuable for everyone who wants to seriously deal with the large functionality and possibilities of the Darktable.

Excellent work!

I loved your video (well, all of them). I do use liquify from time to time for some body transformations, however, had never thought in using it for filling around the empty areas I get when correcting the distortion of my fish eye… Great catch there!

I use all the mentioned tutorials, but it was Bruce’s channel that first convinced me to dump LR for darktable. I often reference these tutorials when people say open software applications are too complex - I thought that too when exploring earlier versions of RT or DT. However, lots of work has been done to make these apps more appealing to average hobby photographers like myself. Still more work to be done there though, IMO, on translating the technical side to plain language to pull in more users.

Hi all!
Ep 044 is up now for anyone who hadn’t noticed. Sorry, remember to post it here as well. :slight_smile:

Well… apparently some people on this forum don’t like me posting links to my tutorials, which are hosted on youtube. My posts get moderated and hidden.
Sorry to those people who actually asked me to post here.
Guess I won’t waste my time.
For those that are interested… ep 045 is up now.
You’ll just have to go find it for yourself. :slight_smile:

Hi @Bruce_Williams, its the auto mod, since you seem to posting the same link multiple times. I’ve approved the posts.

So, if I was to just post in one thread, it would be ok?

Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

Yes, you should be fine.

Hi @Bruce_Williams,

as the OP of this thread, I will say you are always welcome to post links to your tutorials.:+1:
As @paperdigits says it’s just an auto mod.

Take care,

Keith.

OK, great to know it was just the tech doing its job in the background, and not as I had thought, people flagging my posts! :slight_smile:
I will continue to post the links here when I release new episodes.
For those who aren’t up to date on my latest episode, I’m currently on holiday in Sri Lanka (having an AWESOME time, thanks for asking!!) and won’t be able to produce any new content for the next 3 weeks or so.
Cheers!

Achtung! German only!

IRreCams
He talks only about infrared and uses only darktable (3.0.0). If you are into infrared (and understand German) I think it’s quite informative:

Shame: 1 out of 2. Would love to learn more about getting the most out of my infrared photos in darktable. But German might be a problem!

It’s a bit tricky. He talks quite fast and he uses the German darktable. But he uses in all videos more or less the same modules. Mainly the Channel Mixer (Kanalmixer), just the R B swap preset and Color Zones (Farbbereiche). In one video he moves the Color Zones module behind the Channel Mixer to get the real color editing (otherwise the colors are swapped).

Might be worth a look anyway. I’ll put it on my list!
