Fantastic! A tremendous help. THANK YOU!
I appreciate the comment!
Great tutorial! A few days before i wondered, what this new tab does. Now, thanks to your explanation, i know it.
Glad it was helpful to you 😁
Thanks! I'm still a work in progress but you're definitely helping me along!
We are all works in progress 😄 welcome to the club! Keep pushing ✌️
Great tips! I knew some of these hotkeys but It is always to useful to brush them up.
Glad it was helpful to you!
Thanks for taking the time Jacob. Keep up the great work with Rawtherapee tips, tricks and how too videos.
@@kevinbull6597 you are welcome! Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
no point in having a fully exposed image (ie pure white) in your stack
@@MrNoipe agreed. The point of this tutorial was to show how to combine them in darktable rather than best practices while shooting AEB photos
Good stuff. Subd. DT 4.8 killing it.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the sub🙏
but what if i have a saved profile that I want to use?
This was perfect! I've been procrastinating on learning to edit raw photos for months, but I see there is nothing to be scared of, thanks!
Glad this was helpful for you!
Thanks a lot!
You are welcome
Wow. Thanks a lot. Great topic indeed 🙂
Glad this was helpful for you!
Thanks, made Ricky Gervais mixed with Kirby
@@WheelchairKermit I'd love to see that🤣
@@jacobswing www.youtube.com/@WheelchairKermit/community tried to make a post, not sure if it worked
26:31 i am confused, with edges how your increasing
I extruded a long the normals. This increases the edge thickness
It's invisible to see
@@jacobswing But the backside i am not able to increase the edge
You might need to make sure the normals of your mesh are correct. Sometimes, if the normals are not facing outward, then the extrusion does not work properly
Only 3 images are enough in your case and better to use a comercial application
Thanks for walking through the L*a*b* stuff ... as I'm colourblind (especially red-green, but other issues also), I have to be extra careful not to break my photos' colours as I dig into my editing mojo ... this seems to be a wonderful tool in the toolbox.
Glad this was helpful! I have been planning this tutorial for a while. Also, if color blindness is a difficulty for you, check your histogram and RGB parade to help with verifying whether an issue has a red green shift.
great info!
Thanks so much!
is there a easier way to just select an object (leaf) for a mask instead of selecting everything?
@@filifilms the short answer is no. RT has the local adjustments tool which gives a circle or rectangle mask but you can't adjust those masks into the shape of a leaf. I just came out with a tutorial on the local adjustments tool here: ua-cam.com/video/O2W8UYds4bQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Usually I make my adjustments, export a PNG and then open the PNG in GIMP or Photoshop. If you want to mask something within a RAW editing software package, check out Darktable. That program has the ability to make custom masks and it's free just like Rawtherapee
@@jacobswing oh wow that seems like a lot of work just to mask something out. I only asked because I’m used to using it in Lightroom. Have you tried it Lightroom let you select or Deke select an object more or less depending on exactly what do you want to select
@@filifilms Lightroom tries to bridge the gap between being a RAW editing software and a photo manipulation software. RT on the other hand is only concerned with processing RAW photographs so it doesn't have any extra photo manipulation features. I would recommend that you check out Darktable. It's the best Lightroom "clone" out there. You can add masks by drawing them. The downside is Darktable isn't great for batch processing. RT is much better for that
You can also use Color Balance RGB. Don't think one is strictly better than the other, but they do give slightly different looks.
@@donatzsky very true. This video was specific to the split toning tool but Darktable has so any great tools and myriad ways of achieving a specific look
That is terrific! I've got to try it. Thank you
@@fnlgorchinsky so glad it's helpful to you!
I just want to be able to sort by date - the newest at the top - so I don't have to go fishing for where my new images are in the browser. Is there a way to do that? - edit: found it.
Yes this is a great question and I am glad you found the answer. I am going to write it out here just in case anyone else has that same question. To sort images by name, date, exif data, rank, or color label, right click in the file browser image window and go down to the sort files menu. Here you can choose any of the above mentioned properties as sorting criteria. You can also sort by these properties in ascending or descending order.
This is really cool. I've been looking for a way to move my Exposure X7 favourites over to RT and this method does the trick!
Glad this was helpful to you!
That's displace map save me!! Thanks a lot man!!
I am so glad it was helpful!
Thanks, super useful as wondered how this was done in Rawtherapee.
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate these videos. RT isn't the most intuitive of editors but I can definitely see it's potential.
I agree. The learning curve on Rawtherapee is steep but the payoff is worth it!
Thanks. I just found your channel and immediately subscribed.
I appreciate it!
Very nice information
Thanks for the encouragement
Yes, very helpful. I am getting amazing results from your tutorials that I had no idea how to do before. Thank you. Looking forward to more darktable.
Glad they have been helpful. Is there a specific Darktable tutorial you have been looking for?
@@jacobswing Hello Sir. Vivid, saturated color using Darktable has been an issue. Split Toning has been a huge help, however, I am not getting a full range of intense color. Would appreciate a video on how to saturate individual colors. Also, how to get best results reducing noise using Darktable. Thank you so much for your expertise and tutorials. Greatly appreciated.
@@fnlgorchinsky Thanks so much for the input. I will put those tutorials in the queue
very helpful!
How long have you been using using RT?
@@jacobswing I literally just downloaded it and was looking up tutorials! haha
Well I am glad you found my channel. Thanks for stopping by. I am planning on releasing an updated beginner Rawtherapee course soon.
Nicely demonstrated, Jacob.
Thanks so much,
Totally agree 👍🏻
Great video! Really helpful and beginner-friendly
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Big thanks Jacob, it works, GOD Bless 👍
Glad it worked for you!
this is great!
Thanks for the encouragement. Glad it was helpful
@@jacobswing I'm trying to find a replacement for lightroom on desktop, and i'm just not getting the colors I want. I dont know what's going on. I picked up a used Olympus EM-1 and comparing it to my Ricoh GRIII . SOOC the GR is perfect (With enough light) and colors on EM1 are dull. My iPhone 11 looks better. I'm trying to start from scratch and build up from a standard profile to see where it goes sideways and how to get the colors I want. I shoot family and photos and I'm just looking for great skin tones from the GR but with some extra color pop that you get from film simulations.
Thanks. Clear, succinct. Is there a way to make the mouse cursor more obvious? I lose it sometimes. Can the processing profile be changed and applied to all photos? What profile do you use, or customize?
I'll have to check into something to help with the mouse browser. Yes, to apply the processing profile to all photos, you would just need to select all photos and then select the processing profile. Its all about which photos are selected when you are apply edits while batch processing. I personally like to start with a neutral processing profile, edit that to my liking and then apply it across the rest of my photos from that shoot. But the standard RT tone curve and processing profiles are usually a pretty good place to start.
Vibrance +20 is better than Saturation +20
It depends. Vibrance is just saturation without skin tones. I find the best result is a mixture of both. But that's my personal opinion. Do you only use vibrance?
Do you ever take an image from RT to GIMP, make some edits, and then send it back to RT for more work? Or do you do all your RT work first, and send it to GIMP to finish your edits?
That is a possibility. My usual workflow is to open an image in RT, edit all the colors the way that I like, then open the image in GIMP and do any corrections (like hair or blemish removal), then any final color tweaks. If you do want to send an image back to RT make sure you save a lossless image (either a tiff without any compression or an EXR file) otherwise it doesn't make sense to open your image in RT again because the RAW data would be compressed and unusable. I hope that makes sense.
So, I now know how to sort my photos, great tutorial. The second time I open RT what should I do? What's a custom profile? What's the best way to get started with remedial editing? How many important steps have I missed in posing either of those topics? Yep - total newbie that wants to learn, I have some great raw material from world travel. Some technical stuff leaves me baffled and frustrated. Thanks!
More Darktable please? Have learned a lot from your tutorials. Thank you.
Thanks for the input. I have a few in the queue and they should be coming out in the next few weeks
Thanks. Too often I jump in and don't take time to learn some of the less exciting but very useful functions.
Thanks. Too often I jump in and don't take time to learn some of the less exciting but very useful functions.
Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah this stuff isn't super fun but can save a ton of time!
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Thanks so much for the encouragement
thanks for sharing an easy to understand vid..
Problems and fixes I had: 1. Download button not working --> use edge not chrome 2. Film Simulation not applying once selected --> Hit the "on" symbol. It's next to every modifier
Thanks for those! I appreciate the help/updates👍
WHen you turn the noise reduction on and off I literally can't see a change in the picture. But I really appreciate the tutorial. I just got a Lumix G85.
The Lumix G85 is a great camera! When you turn on noise reduction, you need to be at the 1:1 zoom ratio (its a little button at the bottom of the image window). You then need to increase the the luminance slider in order to start adding noise reduction.
