Looking for tutorial: Linux Raw processing

Hi,
I am amazed by what can be done in post processing. I currently have access to a Linux box with Photivo, Raw Therapee, UFRaw and Darktable. I currently sort my photos in Shotwell and develop some of them in UFRaw, other are developed in the camera. I am never able to get something like is sometime shown in this section (e.g. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1177130).

I know may way on the surface of UFRaw (White balance, exposure, contrast and saturation). I am looking for a tutorial that could get me beyond that. I don't need to stay with UFRaw, so if there is a tutorial for any other software it would be great.

Best regards,

The tutorials are the same as for non-Linux programs. The concepts are very much the same.

Also make sure that you upgrade to RawTherapee 4.0.9. You might have 3.0 depending on the Linux you run there.

For some reason the noise reduction in 4.0 sucks, though.

You should be aware that the thread you linked to is not specific to Raw processing, but allows for "manipulation" using any photo/graphic software and any degree of, well, manipulation.

For work specifically with Raw processing, check out our Raw Conversion thread:

Beyond Raw processing, well, it's a big wide open field! If you see some work that appeals to you, ask the artist/photog for input, or you can post a link here (not the actual pic) and ask for input.

Get the latest darktable release (1.1.1) and have a look at the manual (http://sourceforge.net …manual-1.1.1.pdf/download)

It is much easier and faster to get good processing with darktable than UFRaw.

Tutorial to Darktable. Check his other videos too.

The unstable release of Darktable is actually really stable, https://launchpad.net …rchive/darktabl​e-unstable
