For fans of text tutorials/haters of video tutorials, I’ve started writing some darktable tutorials! Here’s one on emulating film halation.

    Thank you! Video tutorials indeed are trash for most things.

    The ideal tutorial format is an article, with gifs embedded for the rare instance where you need to see something moving.

      Yeah, I’m tired of watching 30 minute YouTube videos that I could’ve read in a few minutes. I grew up reading text tutorials for things like Photoshop and really wish they’d make a comeback

    Darktable is great stuff. Handles my huge picture collection with ease.

    Cool tutorial, and I loved the link to the explaination of the phenomenon.

      Glad you liked it! Yes darktable is amazing, though it can be intimidating at first. There’s so many interesting things you can do with the modules and masking. I always wished for more text tutorials when I was starting out with it so trying to fill that gap now that I’ve used it for a few years.

    Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing!

    If you like this effect, consider buying a Black Mist diffusion filter. On a lower strength, they really take the digital edge off, and on higher ones, they give everything a moody vibe.
    The ones from K&F cost only 20 bucks and are a must have for me!

    Love it! We’ve been getting a lot of foggy nights around here, and this could be really fun to play with. Thanks for sharing!
