var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// Use JSFiddle logo as a sample image to avoid complicating

xhr.open( "GET", "http://fiddle.jshell.net/img/logo.png", true );
// Ask for the result as an ArrayBuffer.

My Darktable Workflow

My Darktable Workflow

Basic workflow

  • Copy a film roll (a directory of RAW images) into a directory on the machine running Darktable.
  • Import the film roll into Darktable.
  • Review the images using lighttable mode and remove any images that are beyond repair.
  • Take a snapshot of the image so we can do a before and after comparison.
  • Adjust the white balance.
  • Exposure compensation and recovery.

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺
