convert lightroom presets to darktable presets

I was surprised to find that the M8's version of the images didn't need much editing, other than my own limitations. I woke up thinking about DarkTable, and went back to look at my images. Before too many people complain about the lens, I should add that it sells for only $280 brand new, and the buyer needs to adjust the focusing ramp - it's not done at the factory. My eye was on the lady and the dog the whole time. I expected this to cause more problems than I see here. Oh, and the sun was directly behind those branches - look carefully, and you can see it. If I go out and about tomorrow, I'll try with my old Leica 35mm. Exporting was effortless - I set the max size to 1200 pixels, and DarkTable did the rest.Ĭamera was M8.2, and lens was my China-Cron, (7Artisans 35mm f/2). I didn't try to do anything about noise, but at ISO 160 there shouldn't be much. My gut feeling about the M8.2 images is to try to use them 'whole', without cropping, but that didn't work for me. Making the image 'level' was difficult, as I used my mouse - there's probably a more sensitive way to do it. When it came to the tone curve, DarkTable somehow already suggested a curve, and I liked it more than what I was about to do. I've never adjusted an image before by picking a spot on the histogram, and dragging it as needed to prevent clipping. The only 'fancy' thing I did was the watermark. The following is the last image, after half an hour trying to get DarkTable to do the needful. During my 'Walkabout' this afternoon, I took about ten photos, half of which I deleted.
