| A more permanent solution to have one photograph serve as the base image for several final versions is to //duplicate// a photo. Like a snapshot, a "duplicate" photo in Darktable is //not a literal copy// of the base image; Darktable just saves the filters you've applied to a photo and shows you another representation of the base image with those filters applied to it, as though it had made a copy. It's analogous to viewing one physical print through a red gel, and then through a blue gel, and then a yellow gel, and so on. The result is two versions of the same "physical" computer file in Darktable (but not on your hard drive). | A more permanent solution to have one photograph serve as the base image for several final versions is to //duplicate// a photo.

| Most of the Darktable defaults are reasonable, but if you're accustomed to keyboard conventions from another application or just your own habits, or are particularly allergic to something that Darktable implements (such as using the ''Backspace'' key, universally used to //delete// something, as the back button in the lighttable view), then you can change almost everything about the keyboard layout. | Most of the Darktable defaults are reasonable, but if you're accustomed to keyboard conventions from another application or just your own habits, or are particularly allergic to something that Darktable implements (such as using the ''Backspace'' key, universally used to //delete// something, as the back button in the lighttable view), then you can change almost everything about the keyboard layout. | ||
