Darktable Workflow

Using darktable

I’ve decided to use darktable as my image management and post-processing tool.

Copying my photos from the camera into folders organised by date
Importing them to darktable by “adding to library” in lighttable.
Identifying lousy ones in lighttable and rejecting them with the “R” shortcut
Trash all the rejected photos
Adding a title and description so that I have this for future reference.
Rate the photos from 1 to 5 stars in lighttable
Tagging them appropriately, e.g., Singapore, family, friends, food, etc.
In the darkroom of the darktable software, adjusting the images, such as shadows and highlights.
Yellow label: Photos that I have or intend to share with others.
Green label: Photos that I want to share with close family and friends.
Take a backup of all photos and .xmp sidecar files.
