The color correction filter with mask can do this and, as already mentioned, the graduated density filter has color tint for a similar purpose (although you can also use a graduated mask in the color correction filter.) This isn't the only situation where Darktable's model of masking (each module may have a mask) being different from Lightroom's (one mask aka brush can control many parameters simultaenously) creates confusion. Lightroom's method is probably more efficient too, since a pipeline is being run on the image and then masked/blended in all at once, rather than separately applying and masking/blending in each module/operator. I'm used to the way Darktable does it, but from a usability standpoint I think the 'brushes' model makes more sense. When you want to color correct a face *and* adjust the exposure of a face *and* do something else to everything that's *not* a face (such as stronger NR.) it gets pretty clunky and slow. Especially if you want to refine that mask (later.) ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
