10 Step Darktable Workflow (Start to Finish)

Описание: If you're looking for a free alternative to Lightroom but feel overwhelmed by darktable’s interface — this video will show you a structured, repeatable workflow that actually works.
In this tutorial, I walk through my complete 10-step darktable editing workflow — the same system I use on real-world client work, including images that have appeared on magazine covers.

You’ll learn how to:
• Fix technical flaws (lens correction, chromatic aberrations, denoise)
• Set accurate exposure and white balance
• Enhance image colors effectively
• Apply natural tone mapping
• Create and save a reusable base style
• Batch apply edits to an entire shoot
• Make targeted local adjustments with masks
• Export correctly for web and print use

If this helped you make sense of darktable, consider liking the video and subscribing for more practical, no-hype editing breakdowns.
Darktable isn’t confusing — it’s just unstructured.
Once you add structure, it becomes predictable. And predictable is powerful.
