Color negs need the same but have a white balance to remove most of the orange mask. 99% of the B&W requires desaturate, invert (done with a down slope curves panel if the application doesn’t have a simple invert), and a curves panel to set black point and white point and adjust slope for contrast. I couldn’t even find a “develop” page on Lightroom, just a button that brought up a bunch of sliders)įor completeness, my use case is generally DSLR scanned film negatives. There was less information on Darktable, but it looked like a very different app that what I tried before.ĭid both of these apps undergo a great simplifying recently, or am I missing something? (I searched but could find anything close to what I needed. I spent quite some time trying to find what I wanted but couldn’t find anything like what the discussions showed. I googled this, the help and screenshots I saw were from what looked like a very different looking application even though they were from 2018.
On interesting thing was when I found a curves panel, it wouldn’t let me move black from the bottom left and white from the top right. This is completely different from what I remember when I last gave these apps a spin a couple year ago. I tried both of these a couple of years ago and saw them both as competent programs that didn’t quite work for me, but both of them presented me with a really dumbed down interface that didn’t come close to doing what I wanted. I downloaded the latest Darktable and a 7 day tryout of Lightroom. So I started looking at other options, and on Mac it seems to be Capture One, Lightroom, and Darktable. I’ve alread once lost all my edits to all my images, so I think I need to give it time to mature. In December, I bought the new Luminar with the DAM, and it’s perfect except that is is very slow and unreliable.
I had one issue with it-even though I could add as many “adjustments” as I wanted, there wasn’t a clear order of operations which made certain things a little tricky.
To start with, I’ve been a happy Aperture user for a long time, but apple abandoned it, and it’s now getting unstable.
