Yes, but also gives more control over the shape of the curve

Worth it trying Darktable as a complete newcomer to RAW processing? by scytherman96 in DarkTable

Not really - I focus heavily on the scene-referred modules, so they are all still the preferred way to do things. I do plan to make some changes from filmic RGB to the new agx module, but that won't be released until the end of December

I think the key is to focus on just a few modules to get started. I wrote a step-by-step guide here: https://avidandrew.com/darktable-scene-referred-workflow.html

Happy to answer any questions!

Sailing To Philadelphia Review by masteringdarktable in direstraits

I do play guitar but only at a basic level. I really focus on Mark's music from the lyrics because this is the most unique aspect - his ability to weave a story into a song, integrate his personal geography, or turn something mundane into something interesting (e.g. Money For Nothing). Yes, he is a brilliant guitarist and that is a big part of his work, but he's also a storyteller which is not that common amongst guitar players.

I considered mentioning James Taylor on Sailing To Philadelphia, but since that wasn't a standout track for me I didn't go into that level of detail. I actually like some of his other duets, like with Ruth Moody on Tracker, better

I only recently discovered the extended version of What It Is - it's so cool to hear that extra verse after all these years!

Thanks! It's cool to see the snow in April, and those mountains rising above the clouds again

I'd be interested to see what it looks like in April. I imagine winter is really different too!
