![]() ![]() ![]() As a general rule of thumb, in cases where the scene-dynamic-range exceeds that of your camera, it is safe to under-expose all images by 0.5 to 1 EV (by reducing the ISO sensitivity if possible) even if the in-camera preview looks darker than expected (the preview is not the raw data). Where possible, you are advised to use exposure to-the-right (ETTR) techniques to maximize the amount of data available for processing while avoiding clipping. Under- or over-exposure can be “fixed” by darktable to some extent but no software can recover information that is not present in the Raw image (clipped highlights). Good image processing techniques start in the camera – a well-exposed image (without blown highlights or heavily crushed blacks) will always make post-processing much more straightforward. □getting started □take a well-exposed photograph You are advised to follow the guidelines provided below, up to the end of the image processing in 3 modules section and then choose other areas to learn as-and-when you need to use those techniques in your images. This section is intended to get you comfortable processing images in the darkroom view using a scene-referred workflow.
