I think you are being remarkably kind Pascal.  Their web site doesn't seem to 
want to provide the detail page on their 12 amazing scientific whatevertheyares 
but I wasted five minutes of my life reading their introduction to their 
science page - and can only say it isn't science as anyone would generally 
understand it, if I was being unkind I think 'complete twaddle' would be my 
description.

That said the 'perfectly clear' auto-optimization might be rather nice, at 
least if it anywhere near as good as the 'relight' in lightzone I used a while 
back it could be.  I know that this isn't the direction of darktable - but it 
was still nice.  Actually very nice, usually, on many photographs.  The effect 
was a combination of obvious exposure/contrast fiddling but also tone mapping 
and shadow/highlight processing, now that lightzone have folded the source for 
this has been published - there again  I'm sure it doesn't do anything dt can't 
but just has the auto optimisation bit.

Rgds,
Rob.

Some of that article kinda just sounds like (just) marketing...

More importantly, we don't have any magic auto-optimization... And it's not 
something that would be a priority for us...

We sort of expect you to do the work, we just give you the tools...
