#Darktable export windows 10

An HD screen is around 2.1MP so you'd have to discard a lot of information before that loss would become apparent. If you're looking at images from a recent camera scaled to fit an HD screen, I would be surprised if you could tell the difference at normal viewing distances. Personally I find some things easier to do in GIMP than in Darktable.Īre you looking at them at 100%, or just scaled to fit your screen? If you want highest possible quality for later editing, save as TIFF or lossless WebP. Bayer pattern cameras don't have any more color information than 2x1 anyway. My Darktable is set to 92, where the transition occurs between 1x1 (4:4:4) and 2x1 (4:2:2) chroma subsampling. It is very large, and when edited it, artifacts become visible anyway. I believe that JPEG quality 100 is inadvisable. I suppose this could be a fault of the monitors or maybe my eyes but what is the 10x (roughly) difference in file size accomplishing? Where would this make a difference-in printing or on a really large 60' OLED monitor or? Comparing the 1.4 MB and the 14 MB images side by side I can not see any discernible difference between the two. I process my photos on a dual monitor desktop - the monitors are 24' BenQ's from several years ago. Increasing the slider to 100 results in a 14 MB jpg image exported.

The slider defaults to 90% and yields most times a 1.4 MB jpg image. In the export settings for Darktable is a slider when 8 bit jpg is selected, to adjust the image quality and the resultant file size in the exported jpg image. I do not do any jpg post processing-if there is something I dont like in a jpg image I go back and fish the RAW image out of archives, change it and re export it in jpg. 2012 Olympus OMD EM5 and the kit lens, a 12-50 3.5-6.3 Oly lens that came with the camera. Oddly RT seemed to be unaffected by the two display adapters.I use Darktable for all my post processing work. I should also say I updated my monitor drivers, which were out of date, but this didn’t seem to have any affect on the exported color saturation.

I say 99% because there is still a very small difference in the saturation where DT is more saturated but it is much better than before and ultimately close enough for my purposes. The NVIDIA GPU is obviously the better display adapter so I disabled the Intel UHD, restarted and boom! The darktable exported sRGB jpg image is 99% color accurate to the DT in-program RAW rendered image. So I opened the Device Manager / Display adapters and I noticed that I had two active adapters, Intel UHD graphics 630 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. Shockingly I just found something that seems to have fixed 99% of the color problem! After reading around online I read that the display adapters might be the issue.

So I decided to continue searching for the color issue in Windows 10 in hopes that I could return to darktable. I saw other people are recommending different programs for this step but I don’t like swapping between program for something this simple. There is no good way of culling or staring photos, which is always my first step in photo editing. So I’ve tried RawTherapee over the last couple of weeks and sadly it just doesn’t work for me.
