Keep in mind that darktable really insists on doing things from the ground up, and pretty much requires you to understand the underlying pipeline and what you want to achieve. If you are just experimenting with random sliders, you aren't likely to get good results. It mostly sticks to standard industrial and scientific definitions instead of marketable names, and contains very little "magic" that is common to commercial photography software (such as saturation intentionally not being actual saturation, hidden curves, and so on). So you can use any good book on photography/videography and color science, and directly apply it to most of the stuff it has. Additionally, the developers spend a lot of their time explaining their reasoning and writing about the theory in general, for example: https://www.youtube.com/user/s7habo/videos - this channel is consistently great for both basic and non-obvious things https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/darktable/19 - main darktable forums, has very good discussions and explanations https://eng.aurelienpierre.com/ Dr. Rant of darktable. Primarily technical stuff. |
