A picture is worth a thousand words; after seeing your diagrams, the penny finally dropped, and you got another subscriber. Thank you for the lucid explanation.
Completely new to filmic having just installed DT a few days ago. This explanation is like a light at the end of the tunnel. I was sinking is a sea of terms that made no sense at all, scene referred, display referred etc. Then I found this, and it makes perfect sense - thanks for making this video. All I've got to do now is work out how to actually use the module with a real photo. Best regards.
Thank you very much this video. I learned a lot. I had read about filmic module and saw it getting applied, but never bothered to find out how it worked or how I can use it. After watching your videos, I tried application of my newly learned knowledge and results were dramatically better. Very nice videos explaining basic concepts. Thank you again.
thank you very much for this video. I`ve been strugling for a while with darktable and scene referred workflow and know I finally understand it and I hope I can use it properly. Amazing job!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic explanation. Plus I like the new tool for filmic which I've never seen before. Time to watch Aurélien Pierre's video explanation again and see if I can dig even more info out. Your description is very good, very well explained and will enable me to start using Filmic again. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for this clear explanation. The difficulty I face using filmic is not 'how filmic works' but 'how to use it' Every time I open an image and this could be and underexposed, overexposed image I really struggle with which way to move the silders.
Filmic is complicated underneath, but I find with many hours of use an easy one to set. In fact, I don't do much to the sliders anymore. Don't expect too much of it, just set your white point, black point and contrast. Highlight reconstruction is still a work in progress in my opinion in this software, I usually underexpose my photos a bit to avoid any problems and work out contrast and colours in other modules.
@@adabbleinphotography8721 Hi thanks for replying. I guess my main misunderstanding is that I saw Filmic as the core module, the one that does it all module. I guess I'm not the only one being confused by this. By watching some videos by Boris Hajdukovic I learned that there is more to be achieved by the Color Calibration and Color Balance RGB modules. As a result, I hardly every tinker in Filmic anymore.
Good explanation. At 19:00 as you move the exposure slider you are not getting any clipping in either direction. When I move the exposure slider, I get clipping on both underexposure and overexposure in both luminance and saturation.
So, Filmic RGB is doing well, and other central modules made by Aurélien Pierre are working well also, but will they be further developed and maintained now when AP has left the Darktable team and focused on a new fork called "Ansel", which btw seems to be unattended here in 2023. AP has turned mute, so I try to get news from people who have showed interest in and used energy on promoting and explaining AP's modules. Have different egos among the hall of developers clashed and managed to torpedo further development of Darktable?

Thank you very much!
I didn't manage to understand how filmic works until I saw this video!
The explanation is awesome.

Thanks John!
Probably the best, clear and easy explanation about Filmic RGB.. Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks Alessandro, it means a lot!
Brilliant explanation! Thank you so much. Now I am one step closer to not just moving sliders around randomly! 😂 Subscribed.
Great, keep going!

Filmic is the way to go and Aurélien is the master!
Nice explanation. I usually do this by hand though.
amazing explanation , Thank you
Fantastic video. Unfortunately I don't speak English, but I translate the subtitles. Do you have a video on how to operate the tone equalizer?

Try giving more margin in the black and white points in filmic maybe. Filmic is a good bodyguard but it has no magic sauce.
This is great, thank you!!
Tanks à lot Michele !
Thank you!
It is a pleasure hkp!
