![]() Sorry, but in my opinion if you want to be fair to DT then you have to use its best modules which include the diffuse or sharpen module.ĭiffuse and sharpen is a very interesting (and powerful) tool. Leave sharpening to the end of the workflow and this helps with the speed issue. This is actually not recommended with DT as LR is using a preview where DT is actually applying the true corrections and hence the slower response. If you come from a LR background you may have learnt to sharpen at 100% magnification to see the effect. There are other modules such as contrast equalizer and the sharpen module which I may sometimes choose to use. If I want additional sharpening then I return to the Diffuse or sharpen module and select one of the lens deblur presets. Next I like to use the local contrast module, which in my opinion works similar to the clarity slider in Lightroom. Note that AA filter does a stronger sharpening here, but the intention is to match the type of camera sensor you have. My preferred sharpening steps in DT are to apply the diffuse or sharpen presets for ‘sharpening demosaicing’ as a starting point. DT can do an equally good job and its processing abilities in my opinion exceed LR’s. In your sample images here the capture one settings you have chosen are excessive in my opinion. I find the DT tools for sharpening exceptional. The amount of sharpness you believe is best is very much a personal preference. I wish Darktable would win! The zoomed comparison jpegs and raw files available at Dropbox - sharpness topic - Simplify your life Yes Capture One defaults are over sharpened and often quite brutal.Īttached are four comparisons of a zoomed in crop - Darktable on the left, Capture One in the middle, Lightroom on the right. Provisos - yes I am pixel peeping at ridiculous levels. I would appreciate any advice on how to get Darktable to match LR quality - or perhaps some acknowledgement that Darktable’s RAW engine is not quite as good as the commercial offerrings? The point is, by default LR and C1 seem to extract more detail out of my photos without any effort - and don’t know how to get Darktable to achieve the same clarity and sharpness. ![]() ![]() I’m applying basic sharpening in Darktable and using a scene referred workflow, and perhaps a bit of contrast equaliser sometimes - I’m not using the sharpen and diffuse module because it just brings my Mac to its knees in terms of cpu use and its UI is unfathomable to me at present, though am open to learning. ![]() I’ve been comparing the sharpness of darktable photos of my Sony A7Riii RAW files compared to Capture One 23 and Lightroom and cannot achieve the same image quality sharpness? in Darktable. ![]()
