From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You do need to figure out which modules to use and how to use some of them, its not too difficult when you have all the right modules.

A lot of the modules are old/redundant/deprecated, but still there for legacy reasons. They really clutter up the ui

I went down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos and ultimately ended up on like.... One set of settings I pretty much do for most images.

Lens Correction. Exposure; click eyedropper

Basic Adjustments. Color Balance RGB Global Saturation 30% Global Chrome 15% Local Contrast Detail 130%

Filmic RGB. Click black relative exposure Click white relative exposure

Crop image

I would love to hear/read some more stuff. I'm an extremely basic photographer who didn't want to pay for Adobe.

This is mostly what I use too. Additionally, on images with high ISO I usually add the profiled denoise module, often without changing the default values. If the image has a lot of noise, I sometimes use the preset that only reduces chroma noise (so the image stays grainy, but without the color mismatches)

Yeah I'd say something like that is my baseline too, usually just some added vibrance instead of saturation on the color balance RGB.

I think the tone curve, RGB curve, tone equalizer and colour equalizer are useful if you want a bit more if a look in your images

Why don't they remove all the old modules? I feel like they're frustrating all their new users.

Legacy reasons I suppose, it would suck to go back to a photo you took a while back, only to find out all your edits are gone because the modules you used are removed.

Some modules get a "deprecated" warning, which imo more modules could use, but there are probably still edge cases where someone might prefer the old modules

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I guess it could just only show them on old edits.

I think they are hidden by default with the scene-referred layout, but they will show up when searching. It's a tough situation UX wise
