[Darktable] Basics: Developing a photo from start to finish with Sigmoid
Since Darktable made it easy to switch to the Sigmoid workflow, I've decided to make a video, similar to my very first video on Darktable. How to develop a photo from start to finish, using Darktable and Sigmoid module. I didn't want to dwell on colour science, or deep-dive into specific modules. I just wanted to make sure people who ran Darktable for the first time could end up with a .JPG

One of the best, clearest and easiest to follow entry level darktable tutorials out there. I've been using the software for years and believe I've got a pretty good handle on it, but this tutorial taught me several new things. Thanks heaps!

Glad to hear! Thanks for the kind words!
This is very helpful. Thank you!
As the previous commentators have written, a very good and clear video on Darktable and the use of the Sigmoid module. Maybe you could make a few videos showing some development of different pictures.
Thanks for video.
Great video, nice and simple! Love this complete example workflow, so helpful!
Thanks. One suggestion, please please use the snapshot tool to show the difference between significant tuning, to show us what effect the tool has on the picture, I thought that would help more
Would've loved you to go a bit more into detail on the sigmoid module, instead of only adjusting the contrast slider, but other than that, great video!

I think that's too much for a person who opened Darktable for the first time. I touched on the RGB Primaries module, which is very similar to Sigmoid primaries. 99% of people will leave target luminance & target black as-is.

@@StudioPetrikas Fair enough, maybe something for another video then?

Maybe! If I notice enough people struggling on the forums, it might be a good topic to drill deeper on. What would you like to know about it? (minus what's written in the documentation)

Can Sigmoid do highlight reconstruction like Filmic RGB, or should we stick to Filmic for that?
@StudioPetrikas

Sigmoid itself cannot. You either have to pair it with the "Highlight Reconstruction" module, or use "filmic rgb" instead.
I really don't understand why there has to be always super annoying background music with these kind of tutorials!? It;s distracting and make it harder to follow! Please ditch the background music!

It's because I like it. Ask KZread to give us the tools to upload two audio tracks, one for voice, one for background audio.
