![]() ![]() But take my money for life, a small bit at a time, without knowing where the product is going? That's a tough sell. If they want my money again, make a compelling case for it, or offer a good price for upgrading, and we'll talk. I'm a bigger fan of buying a standalone product that works for me, and they can release patches for bugs and such, but the featureset is fixed. Updates can often just hamper my productivity. It worked fine, and did exactly what I needed. I can't tell what they improved in Office, and honestly, I didn't need it to improve over what it was already. For example, I'm on MS365 at work, and Office updates itself every month, and sometimes it breaks the preview feature in Explorer, which I use extensively as a time saver. Now, I find the perpetual updates can often be a negative, especially when they deprecate a function you used, or they change the function you used. The older I get, the more my philosophy on software has changed. Going back to the original question, have you tried RT or ART already? Cheers. Contrast/gradient can also be customised using different ways in different modules. DT's drawns masks are so powerful and we are flooded by a lot of possibilities that we can experiment on. My favourite film stock, Agfa Vista 200, is well-represented there. If one is into film sims, I find the ones in RT are really good, especially when printed. I think these two (or three including ART) must be considered because they are proper software. I use and like both, depending on the need/goal. Even NR can be localised, much like AI denoising software. DT has drawn masks, its greatest advantage over any PP software available.With DT, the lifted shadows and clipped highlights in a separate module can give the halo artifact but can be eliminated by compression. Darktable also has this but in Filmic RGB, which almost eliminates the need to use the Shadows and Highlights module. RT uses black-relative exposure and white-relative exposure in Highlights and Shadows, eliminating the "halo" that most processing software have when lifting shadows or clipping highlights.RT handles Pentax Pixel-Shift images like a king.According to the authors, DT is for us to create our own colour science. Even the lovely l.monochrome.d is available to be applied once you have the DCP. If one likes in-camera profiles, the DCPs can be applied in colour management in RT, whereas in DT, there isn't that option.RT as a DAM is better more straightforward vs the add film roll in DT. Film simulations in RT are also flooded and are easier to setup and apply.ART and RT are much easier to use than Darktable, even for me, especially for minor camera adjustments. Here are some minor observations as I use RT and DT. and happy rendering!V.Click to expand.Aurélien Pierre's explanation of the Filmic RGB module is very useful. I have several college degrees including a BA in English Writing, a BA in Anthropology, and an MS in Evolutionary Ecology (a subdiscipline of Anthropology).I think my ultimate goal with my graphics - what I really hope to get out of all of this - is to create something truly beautiful one day that either someone will deeply appreciate in their heart or that will inspire someone to create something beautiful. I am a huge fan of classic artists like Salvador Dali, Calder and Leonardo da Vinci, but am also strongly influenced and inspired by the works of contemporaries like Jack Pedota, David Ho, Luis Royo, Olivia and many of my fellow Renderosity artists who continue to inspire me on a daily basis. My other tools of the trade include Hexagon, Silo, ZBrush and Vue, and I also do black & white digital photography and photo restoration on the side. ![]() My art is a mixture of DAZ Studio, Poser, Photoshop CS5 and Filter Forge. Now I'm equally obsessed (if not more so) with all things 3D as well. I had always been a little intimidated by 3D graphics, thinking it was way too hard to do, but I decided to give it a shot anyways. ![]() About two years ago I came across an ad in a magazine for DAZ Studio. Since then I have been teaching myself all things Photoshop. A few years later a friend introduced me to Photoshop, and it was love at first sight. I went home that day and created some silly little piece and after that I was totally hooked. I first became interested in computer graphics some time circa 1995 when my dad gave me this CD package of some new, up-and-coming computer software at the time which included Aldus Photostyler and KAI PowerTools. Hi there! My name is Victoria, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California (but live elsewhere now). ![]()
