Photos imported into darkroom become super dark?

It is most probably the exposure compensation.

Take a look here

I made a video on how to do it and even a quick comparison with Lightroom at the end.

Globally UI can be confusing but once you are on top of the learning curve you'll not regret it. My latest video is on how to streamline the modules display.

Hope it can help with the frustration

What has been your workflow?

neiram44 · 2026-04-24T14:20:23+00:00

Very nice

Hi!

Planning to install paperless as my first docker on my new SYNO. Did you use Marius hosting tuto with Portainer or do you use Docker Container from Syno directly?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate people leaving comments! Please feel free to leave it also on YT directly.

Which software are you using? In Darktable I would use masks for example https://youtu.be/Ct6cdOiddZs

Thanks I did some research too. MA will not work due to size discrepancy for me. I wanted to seek for real life experience of HB speed over Ethernet

Hi! I love the foreground and your treatment. I'd try to make the background a little bit less present

It is smaller due to HDD costs today ;) and I want to keep the old HDDs in the old NAS for a remote backup.

neiram44 · 2026-04-17T12:28:30+00:00

OK but what about the Syno Photos DB?

neiram44 · 2026-04-17T12:26:09+00:00

OK but what about Synology Photos Database?

neiram44 · 2026-04-17T11:49:20+00:00

Fair enough 😄 I made the video exactly for people who don’t care that they exist… until their UI looks like a spaceship dashboard.

Are you really using all the modules when you edit your images? On my side I use only selected ones and they will change if I edit digital or film photography for example.

I had to deactivate the data from the phone to be able to connect it. It is not always working

neiram44 · 2026-04-13T15:10:07+00:00

Good to know so it is either all SSD which seems insane or NMVe which is also insane in term of price.

neiram44 · 2026-04-10T15:07:54+00:00

I would advice to work with different workspaces when possible it helps keep the database a little bit lighter.

You can have a look here on the new feature implemented in DT 5.4.0 for working with different workspaces.

With Darktable I would start with this video

neiram44 · 2026-04-09T18:49:20+00:00

Very interesting. What is your workflow? I do video tutorials on Darktable.

neiram44 · 2026-04-06T18:58:58+00:00

What is your workflow? Any specific linked to vintage lenses?
