The central area of the window is dedicated to photo previewing. Most of the Darktable photo management operations are carried out in the Lighttable window, which was initially designed for this purpose. What am I missing? It's common sense that the settings used for one image are likely to be used for the next one in a sequence, why can't I just go 'tweak, next, tweak from previous, next, tweak from previous' and so on?Īlso, having to click on the roll at the bottom of the darkroom window is a PITA compared to just 'next image please' since muscle memory often causes misclicks because the 'next' image isn't always where you expect it to be - I don't see a 'next' button or tab anywhere.Great Lighttable window.

After I've created all of the ID files - I have a Makefile that batch-converts everything using ufraw-batch (since ufraw isn't very well multithreaded, ufraw-batch basically processes one file on each core using make -j4 on my quadcore machine) - It seems the rough equivalent to this is darktable's export function, which DOES now allow me to set a separate export directory (it didn't seem to the first time I tried it 2 years ago) I'm finding myself having to re-enable the exposure and WB modules with each image, and every time they start from defaults. ufraw saves the parameters from the last image saved when loading the next one - darktable is severely failing me here. *.ARW' Go through each image, adjusting WB and exposure (rarely anything else) - ufraw was set to save ID files only. is it severely out of focus?) in digiKam Switch to commandline - create a subfolder called 'jpeg' in the folder full of Sony ARWs and out-of-camera JPEGs Run 'ufraw. My workflow before was: Sort from camera into folders using digiKam Do very rough culling (e.g. Yeah, I've been kicking it old-school for a while, to the point where ufraw's deficiencies with regards to handling recent Sonys (as in - severely underexposes by exactly 1 or 2 stops depending on camera model compared to dcraw, libraw's dcraw_emu, or darktable) was causing me to just fall behind on processing photos to the point where family were joking about me having write-only memory.
