I'm not really happy with the colours dt produces from the raw files of my Canon EOS M3.
E.g. in a photo taken of someone on a bright day in snow, the OOC jpegs have more saturation and brightness in the sky, the snow looks cooler (especially the shadows have more blue), whereas the skin tones look warmer than in the dt output. BUT: at the same time the gray jacket remains fairly neutral and doesn't have an unrealistic colour cast. I've tried to tweak the dt output using velvia, colour zones, tone curve, base curve, white balance, contrast, brightness & saturation but failed to get the overall look. There were always side effects (increase saturation --> gray jacket gets more blueish; adjust white balance --> gray clouds get a colour cast etc.). Would the procedure outlined in http://www.darktable.org/2016/05/colour-manipulation-with-the-colour-checker-lut-module/ help in this respect? Can the IT8 target also be used to calculate an enhanced colour matrix? This is perhaps of more general value than a LUT(???).
