How to Quickly Edit a Photo in Darktable | Darktable Tutorial #08 

Excellent! Thank you for a simple editing lesson, and a very informative tutorial! Sometimes we can get bogged down with too many options. But this makes it much easier to do a quick edit. Thanks again!

This is the simplest tutorial I've seen so far, thank you

Such a nice video tutorial. I've been using Lightroom for a while, and I am very happy to find your Darktable tutorial, because I tried to use it once with not much success. As a programmer, I rather keep myself on Linux environments. The OS performance is so much better, and was really noticeable when I was using a dual boot machine: Windows 10 vs Mint/Ubuntu just felt like two absolutely different computers. This gives now the opportunity to fully switch to a open source alternative and avoid dual boot or virtual machine. Thanks a lot!

It's amazing to see people using Open Source solutions to do things that I love! Nice tutorial!

New to darktable and your tutorials are invaluable in quickening the learning curve! Thank you!

All the videos are very helpful. I am new to RAW photography and your videos are very clear and precise on how to edit them in Dark Table.....thank you from a newbie :)

Wow, best tutorial that i ever seen! Thank you very much

I'm amazed by how much you can improve the look with just these simple tools. Thanks a lot for showing that!

This is the most helpful darktable tutorial, I'm just now getting started in editing images. Thank you

You're so confident and relaxed. I love your videos!

For a notoriously complex (and amazing) tool, this straightforward tutorial was very helpful. Many thanks, Riley.

fantastic series of tutorials. Great Job!

Back in the day I used to spend about an hour on the photo sometimes, working with Photoshop Elements and using layers, painting on masks, dodge and burn tools, sharpen and blur etc. Then I took the plunge and subscribed to Adobe package and Lightroom was a godsend! A few moves of sliders and there we had a basic snap transformed into a “professionally” looking photo pretty much most of the time! However technical issues of late resulted in having to drop Adobe software (for now) and looking for alternatives. Darktable looks to be it. It may have a steeper learning curve and lack the immediacy advantage that Lightroom offers but with a bit of work and time spent learning the software it’s a great option to have, and at a zero cost. Thank you for a great tutorial.

great video! easy to follow

This is exactly what I needed and exactly what I wanted to learn. Your explanations were very easy to understand. Liked and subscribed!

This is very similar to my "workflow" (consider I'm an amateur). Good tips on the levels and tone curve. I will definitely try those. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge!!

Hi! Thanks. This videos about dt is very useful and informative. You have to continue that.

Thanks its so helpfull, I am new user for dark table and also new for photograph, still learning many think

Some very good advice.

Thanks for showing some good basics!

Very helpful! Thanks :)

Thanks alot ❤️

Obrigado Riley e parabéns!

good stuff! I just downloaded darktable.

awesome thanks a lot!

Great, man! Thank you so much. I'm trying to leave the adobe package.

Amazing :D Darktable are on Windows now :D

thank you

Very helpful video, I was just wondering if Darktable has graduated filters and adjustment brushes like LR. I wanna have selective exposure and not change the whole image at once...

Great tutorial for me, the newbie! a Question: Can you use sliders as well as the tone curve? I don't really understand the "tone curve".

good thank you, by the way i did find the brush used for masking in the last video

I'm using darktable for some time now, but today I actually learned a few new things. Thanks for that! Off topic question: Which screencast tool do you use?

Cool video :)

Thanks it's useful

how do make the graph thing whenever you click an option? All I can see are sliders and I think the graph looks easier

VERY helpful to a Noob like me, thanks! Chalk up another sub.

Does this application have a magic quick select tool like PS?

Hey Riley, Does any of your vids explain how to apply a change to multiple images as such in a timelapse images? Thanks

Thank You Riley for the introduction video's to Darktable. Question: I imported my Rawfiles via an USB drive from an other computer, but I want to change the naming on a new system. Is it possible to delete the old database of filenames and start again? I use Darktable on Linux Mint system (18) but I realy can"t detemine where the database is and how to delete it. Could You help me out? Regards, DutchTugMaster

Thanks Riley. At 1:02 minute when you select "exposure", you get this "tee-pee" kind of window that I don't get. Also it adjusts only the highlights but for me it adjusts all the image exposure. Can you explain ? Thanks.

How did you "turn on the exposure warnings"? I have no idea where your mouse went when you did that. Thank you.

Your videos are so well made, why did you stop making them? I bet you're missing out on a ton of money!

You should make one with v. 4, things have moved around.

Any views on Darktable V/s Raw Therapee. Nice tutorial btw.

I'm sorry, you've mistaken the name of the video. It's the Tutorial #08, not #07. Great video anyway!

Nice videos. Too bad Darktable is just too slow on this MAC despite i7, 32GB memory and 4GB VRAM.

still trying to figure out have to export to a PNG,TARGA,TIFF, or JPEG. lol

Darktable and Adobe Lightroom are fantastic software. But to use it your eyes must be 20/20 and your body in their 20s. The menu text is way to small for someone older than that. At 3 or 4 pts. my eyes have to strain to use it. Thank god we have other softwares like GIMP to use for RAW format images.

darktable is good if you have no money for lightroom , it litterly does the same as lightroom

If that is simple stuff,then I better not shoot raw at all

Unfortunately the presenter zips his tiny black cursor around so fast it is extremely difficult to see what he is doing. I had to review parts of the video over and over to figure out what could have been presented by moving a visible cursor at a viewable pace. The presentation can be easily and significantly enhanced by allowing the cursor to be seen.

He starts off speaking like Donald Trump, although sounding much kinder.
