>>4346632>>4346633Okay, thanks for advice. As for updating DT - like you noticed, there is more or less clear direction DT development is taking and I honestly don't like it. Back when I was starting to play with photography and using DT, I found it quite good and most basic functionality easy enough to use. But Im also testing 4.6 on laptop and I really don't like it. The biggest problem is how various modules gets straight out removed for being "outdated" but with alternatives, while probably offering much higher functionality, require spending some time on studying them, something I usually don't have time or will for, especially when something else already work. To give some example, something as basic as "contrast brightness saturation" module is marked as "outdated" and thus expected to be removed in next version. Manual says:
>contrast brightness saturation (deprecated) (...) this module is deprecated from darktable 4.4 and should no longer be used for new edits. Please use the color balance rgb module instead.But at the very same time, "color balance rgb" module description in manual says:
>This module is not suitable for beginners with no prior knowledge of color theory, who might want to stick to the global chroma and global vibrance settings until they have a good understanding of the dimensions of color.So they straight out removes easy and working tool in favour of tool that require thorough study of the issue. Same goes for "fill light" module ("use the tone equalizer module or the exposure module with a drawn mask"), splitting "crop and rotate" into three different modules or overall love for parametric masks, among other examples.
I will try to adjust, since I don't have to replace 2.6 on PC if I have laptop to experiment with but this looks disturbing.
