I like the last photo. I think that really captures the essence of darktable. :-)
I stopped at the denoise and didn't really set out to finish processing the image, so the colors on the bear aren't the same. However, the detail is still there and wasn't affected by the denoising. I did blow the highlights a little while I was processing and didn't bring them back in. I actually used fewer denoising modules and less denoising to achieve a better result. The key to denoising in darktable, is making sure that the image is ready to denoise. If you apply the basecurve, which happens automatically, it amplifies the noise tremendously. When you try and denoise, you then end up with the rainbow effects. I ran DPP, RT, and DT all at the same time. I then adjusted DT's image (histogram) until it was similar to RT. I then applied the gamma curve from DPP to both of them. At that point there wasn't a lot of noise in the RT or DT image, so denoisiing them became a simple process. I actually denoised DT's image quicker because I only used 3 modules and 2 blending modes. It took longer to work my way through RT's sliders and drop downs. :-) On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 3:05 AM Andrey <parihaar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I like your work.
