With LUTs there's the problem that now you need three files instead of two, to reproduce an image. I think some of the AGFA emulations you've already seen in some of my recent uploads. There's an absolute wealth of film emulations distributed as luts that I previously couldn't use via Darktable. In a nutshell, Darktable is a free, open-source software solution for photo editing and file management. Adjust the exposure module and filmic module (white relative exposure and black relative exposure is a must, contrast is up to you). Well now Darktable 3.0 has full support for LUT files, including these HaldCLUT png files. Choose your desired Style from the 14 available on this page. When that is selected, I do local adjustments and sometimes go deeper into curves to achieve local contrast ("Clarity" in Adobeland) and other things. Cost: darktable is free of charge meanwhile Lightroom costs 10-15/month (based on your country of origin). I list here below a few pros and cons of both software solutions. And I can’t always get the results I want in Lightroom. Once you get up to speed you will see how things are as intuitive in darktable as in Lightroom. I’m a Lightroom user, but not everyone wants to commit to an Adobe subscription package. In this review, I set out to see what Darktable 4.2 offers and whether it is a good Lightroom alternative. As for functionality, Darktable works as a non-destructive RAW image editing solution meaning it makes completely reversible changes to your images. Upon first glance, you’d almost mistake it for Lightroom thanks to its structured layout and appearance. Speaking of tone curves, the major reason to use tone curves for me are the film emulations by Joao Pedro Almeida. A+ Today we look at Darktable vs Lightroom. Darktable’s a great looking, robust, powerful and comprehensive post-processing tool. I still base most of my work on the default base curve and tone curves. Cameras that produce DNG files should be supported even if they are not on the list but samples are still appreciated. What was introduced in 2.6, "filmic" to replace base curve when desired, is now obsolete and "Filmic RGB" is a rewrite of that feature. This is an auto-generated list of the state of support of different camera models. I don't think it works perfectly yet but I can't but wonder: is it allowed to have tools this easy? Not exactly Silver Efex but cool nonetheless. I'm not sure yet what to think about the feature but there's now a cool zone-system-esque module called "Tone equalizer" which defines 8 zones to the picture and you can manipulate them by pointing to something in the picture and wheeling your mouse to push or pull that zone.
