![]() ![]() The node-based tools such as Nuke support this as the user is responsible for chaining together operations in a way that respects scene-reference, and the ACES workflow holds that respect through the various hands that mangle image data. Oh, to your original question, the film industry folk came to realize the utility of scene-referred data when they struggled to combine content to make the amalgam look realistic. In my hack raw processor, which opens a raw file as-is and requires the user to stack the image operations in whatever order they want, I've messed with alternate ordering of things before and after departing from linear, and it does make a difference in color preservation to keep the non-linear departure as late in the toolchain as practical. The bad effects of display-referred editing are about twisting the color hues with slewing the individual channels around with indiscriminately-applied RGB tone curves, and/or using chrominance separated colorspaces such as HSL With regard to the former, scene-referred is about minimizing the use of RGB tone curves, the latter about not using those spaces at all. The lament about display-referred processing is about doing image editing after applying such a tone curve, usually the gamma curve associated with the display, So I'm wondering if you had a chance to compare the quality of the RAW conversion output of On1 2020 against DT 3.0."scene-referred" vs "display-referred" is about the point in the processing workflow where the image data departs from the camera's originally-measured linear-light relationship, which is usually when non-linear a tone curve is applied. Another area that DT doesn't have anything beyond the bare bones.īottom line: ON1 has a *lot* for a DAM feature set and integrates nicely with AP, much better than DT. Another thing DT doesn't have and won't commit to, although I know for a fact the FOSS libraw library already has CR3 support, because I'm *using* it in the Digikam 7.0 beta version on Windows, just integrated last week.ģ. Something I need, otherwise I was just having to use Adobe DNG converter to convert CR3 > DNG. ![]() In the ON1 settings, you can specify one or more external editors that On1 will hand off a file to in TIFF, PSD, or JPG format.Ģ. But this last week I started trying On1 2020 and found it had a few things I need, which might also be things you need:ġ. Make sure you use a lossless format such as TIFF (16 or since you were recently using ON1 Raw, I'm curious if you've compared ON1 2020 version with DT 3.0 "rc" version that was just released? I am a big fan of both Rawtherapee and DT, using both for a couple years along with Digikam. It's not full integration, but it does work and keeps your Affinity Photo edits grouped together in Darktable with the original. some info here: If you are at all technically minded you can edit the script to change references in the displayed text from "gimp" to "external editor" although this is not needed for this to work. Works a treat (on my Win 10 machine - no direct experience of any other OS). Then in Darktable you select the file you want to edit in AP, use the new export option which opens up the file in AP, do your edits, save and close AP and the new image is automatically imported back into DT and grouped with the original source image. It's straightforward to install (copy and paste a few files into a folder) and then instead of pointing it at the gimp executable, you point it at the AP executable. ![]() There is an extension to Darktable that gives another option in the export module to open the selected image in The Gimp. It is possible to more or less integrate Affinity Photo with Darktable. ![]() I still have to export to JPG from Darktable and then edit with Photo. I always used Canon and Panasonic cameras.īut I have never been able to "integrate" Photo with Darktable. But as I mentionned above, you have to spend quite some time with it.Ĭhoosing a RAW editor is often a "personnal" thing, it depends of your workflow, how many images you have to work on, and also the camera you use. And when you come back with 400 RAW files. and that fills up a hard drive rather quickly. for non destructive work you have to save the files in Aff Photo format. This being said, in the last weeks I also tested RAW development with Affinity Photo. Recently I installed Darktable 3.0 as my RAW program of choice, this is the one I got the best results over all the other RAW software. I make a few thousands RAW images a year. During that time I kept testing Rawtherapee and Darktable. I've been a user of Lightroom and PS for years, switched to On1 Photo Raw two years ago, Affinity Photo was not up to the task during those years. ![]()
