Darktable through to GIMP Edit Tutorial – Beauty Shot

By David B On May 19, 2019

This time I’m taking an image from RAW all the way through, doing RAW edits in darktable, then passing through Portrait Pro for a quick tweak, then on to GIMP for final retouching.

A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.

I'm not very clear about the transition from (say) darktable to
gimp.
If you really had to could you have done all this in Gimp only?
When you go from DT to gimp does it have to convert to jpeg or can you use tiff.

Thanks for the video. Really well made.

thanks for doing the video I really appreciate it. Your videos helped me find darktable. I'm pretty new to photography all around and your videos help a lot. I know that you have a newb guide to darkroom do you have anything like that for GIMP? Again thank you very much for taking the time to make this content.

I am a FOSS user for ethical/philosophical reasons.However, I don't know if I agree with what you said about it being "better". Do you consider Gimp to be better than Photoshop for this type of work? If so, would you mind elaborating?
