Hi guys, I've been doing some more digging about this issue and I think I've figured out why the embedded JPEGs (or JPEGs in general) have settings I can't seem to copy manually in darktable (mostly visible in white balance & tints).
It seems (semi recent) Nikon camera's apply a 'Picture Control' to the images that determine how the final rendered image will appear. ViewNX (Nikon's free RAW converter) knows this & uses this to generate JPEGs that are identical to the JPEG files generated by the camera, but software that is unaware of these fail to copy these settings. A similar issue exists in Lightroom (http://photographylife.com/how-to-get-accurate-nikon-colors-in-lightroom) and while this usually isn't really an issue (DarkTable tends to do an excellent job at White Balance), sometimes the camera does it better than I can. The solution thus would be to figure out what those Picture Controls do & how to apply these things in DarkTable. http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/microsite/picturecontrol/ Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
