![]() ![]() A number of profiles can be applied to a raw file in the Develop module. LRC version 12.1 (the latest version) uses Adobe Camera Raw version 15.1 for the Develop Module. "The Adobe DNG Converter enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files from supported cameras to a more universal DNG raw file." dng so the Adobe DNG converter is not applicable. So LR will use the Adobe Standard profile anyway and can use the embedded profile (embedded in each DNG from the M9)Īdobe DNG converts proprietary/camera-specific raw (such as Nikon. ![]() I am now investigating how I could use these camera profiles in DT also.įor my M9 however there is no camera profile in the latest Adobe DNG converter. He also shows how to get camera profiles from the Aobe DNG converter and use them for Raw Therapee. He shows that files sharpness is affected negatively by the basic RAW treatment in this video: I do like the basic RAW from C1 a bit better than LR in the samples, but it also looks a bit sharpened and modified to me, even if you did not do any adjustments.īy chance I came across this person who uses Rawtherapee (and is experimenting with the latest DT now) to avoid LR default RAW treatment. I am aware that users like Thorsten Overgaard do not like the LR treatment of RAWs from their Leica’s and choose to use C1 which has camera profiles for all Leica models it seems. The result of LR looks pleasing maybe, but you cannot see the original RAW data and if you would want it as a starting point. What can be clearly seen here in the samples is that LR applies some enhancements like basic sharpening and maybe other things to the RAW files where DT is designed to do the absolute minimum. So LR will use the Adobe Standard profile anyway and can use the embedded profile (embedded in each DNG from the M9) For my M9 however there is no camera profile in the latest Adobe DNG converter. It is very performant and a sympathic concept! ![]() Because C1 is going to switch to an abo-system, I will leave them, and I hope Darktable will be emproved for more Leica-cameras, so that DT could be my system in the future. Today I use C1 whenever skin-colors are important (LR + PS in other cases). I hope, now it is understandable, what my "terrible" problem is. (When using M8-DNGs, the result is nearly perfect). So they use a standard-profile, which doesn't match with M240-DNGs. The reason in my opinion is, that DT has no M240-related profile to convert DNG-data in acceptable colors, epecially by interpreting WB.

As registered member you'd see an image here… Try it for a while with new projects before you move all old stuff. Just dump some RAW files in a dedicated folder and get going. You can basically take any subfolder and use it as a sub-catalog.ĭT can read the files of my Leica’s with no issues but only mainstream camera’s and lenses are supported with correction profiles and such.Īll in all, I think it is easy to test for yourself sinds it is free and very unobtrusive to use. Solved by keeping the catalogs smaller, which is easier to do than with LR. Large catalogs DA management gets slow, slower than in LR. Using it is no problem, but using it best is harder because there are even more options than in LR to do the same thing. This is also the case when going from LR to C1 or vice versa. Edits made on RAW files in LR are not compatible with the edits in DT so they have to be done over in DT. Not really a con because there is not much better, but importing LR catalogs is only partly possible. It combines editing with DA management and comes with powerful keywords and culling possibilitiesįocus is on controls that change one aspect of the data without touching others Once you get used to it, it can get the same results This is much better than LR because of its depencency on the central catalog file which can get corrupted. You could move part of the catalog and start on a different computer without losing anything. Everything is stored in individual files next to the RAW files. Long term archiving possibility is excellent. A good point to start is conclusion so far is: It is a world on its own to me, so prepare yourself for some hours learning how to use it best. However the way controls work tends to be totally different compared to LR and C1. It feels more like a merged PS and LR for anything in “normal” photography. So, in some ways DT can be more powerful than LR. What I like for example is that any control has a masking section, so you can layer and mask any control action with very powerful masking. It covers most of the functionality in LR, I use and even adds some. Coming from a pre-subscription version of LR, this was the best free option available IMO. ![]() I am using Darktable for a few months now. ![]()
