Darktable Ultimate Guide to Masking: Ep5 - Combined Drawn & Parametric Masking part 1

In this introduction to combined drawn and parametric masking, we look at a simple approach to 'emulating' the idea of 'select subject Ai masking' - obviously without the Ai bit - just using Combined Drawn & Parametric Masking.
We will use the combined power of drawn and parametric masking to separate the subject from its background.
Stick around to the end of the video when we do some nice DENOISE and SHARPEN operations on the image USING Darktable - only methods!
