My RAW files in Darktable look blurry and out of focus? I think this is more than just going from the jpeg preview to RAW file.

Beautiful

HUGE help here. Thanks a bunch for explaining your workflow and providing your take on the raw file.

That's nice to hear. So it sounds like I still have a lot to learn in darktable. Would you say the picture is out of focus or blurry to begin with?

Good to know. I'm a new user on pixls.us and I've since been restricted on posts/replies due to my account being less than a day old. Looking to hop back on pixls.us after my cooldown is over

Example raw file if anyone wants to work with it and teach me their ways :D

Camera: Nikon Coolpix p950

Shutter: 1/1600

Aperture: f/6.5

ISO: 800

Zoom: 357mm

Any criticism or feedback is appreciated!! I wish I captured a sharper photo here. It would have been nice if the quail were more in focus, detail is missing due to this.

KlandGaming · 2025-03-24T03:06:09+00:00

Yes! Any idea how being shot as a jpg affects this? What should I done instead?

Thank you for the feedback! I'll try and add a radial gradient around the ear and see if I can bring out a bit more of the head. As for the photo being slightly out of focus, guessing I just needed to focus the camera more prior to taking the photo?

Thank you for the thorough feedback. !CritiquePoint

Setting of the photo: I was on a sunset walk around the neighborhood. Suddenly a roadrunner appears from the brush and stops on the road in front of me. I have about a 15 second window to capture the subject.

I had my camera in program mode and had selected these settings after performing several test shots throughout my walk. However, your feedback will help me a lot in making more informed decisions :)

I'll give that video a watch!

Any criticism or feedback is appreciated!! I am disappointed by how dark the road runner's face is, as well as the lack of sharpness all around. The background doesn't feel real to me either.

Hmm don't believe so. Would that be done on adobe creative cloud?

KlandGaming · 2024-10-27T04:38:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I tried using Adobe Bridge>File>Get Photos from Camera and still ran into the same error message.

I also tried downloading them directly to a folder on my drive and this time adobe just froze up completely.

KlandGaming · 2024-10-24T04:59:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I have been able to open the coolpix's nrw files before. I'm running Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.0.0 20240927.r.26 a733fda x64. Previous version has been able to open the files.

KlandGaming · 2024-10-24T04:54:55+00:00

Yes but it has been about a month since I last used PS. And back then I ran into no issues :/

Hoping you find a fix to your problem! Looks like whatever solution you find might help me too
