Thanks to all the people who tested out my problem CR2 raw file. It seems likely that Canon has written the white balance into the exif for such multiple-exposure files in such a way that darktable stumbles when reading it. I have had no problems with single-exposure CR2 raw files in darktable. Looks like I can put off upgrading my linux OS until later. :-)

Same issue with darktable 2.2.4. Preview looks OK until opening the photo in darkroom. Turning off the white balance module makes it look OK again, or in white balance module, pushing the tint up all the way to 1.5.

    I am having this strange problem with darktable and my Canon EOS 6D. Below
    is a description of the problem.
    Which darktable version?

    The problem is either the wrong white balance being read (is that RAW HDR?),
    or wrong black/white levels being read.
    I'm using darktable 2.0.7, and it doesn't look like I can get any
    other later version because my linux mint 17.3 is based on ubuntu
    14.04. I'll have to upgrade to linux mint 18.1 to get any later
    darktable updates from the pmjdebruijn ppa.

    My Canon 6D does not support raw HDR. The file is just a normal
    CR2 raw file, with multiple exposures on it. It's possible that
    the multiple "averaged" exposures is screwing up the white balance
    data, but then why does the jpeg preview look OK? Strangely
    enough, my google drive preview of the file also shows a magenta cast.

    Before I go into the hassle of installing a new linux mint OS to
    use the latest darktable version, can someone confirm that this is
    not an issue with darktable's reading of the file? Here is a link
    to one of the problem files:

    Thanks so much.
