On the rare occasions that I've wanted to emulate some of the non-linear voodo
that happens in my camera firmware (usually related to skin tones), I've found
that the Color Zones module is usually capable of getting pretty close,
probably far more capable than I am at providing it with the right settings. :)
The attached style uses Color Zones and Tone Curve modules to get an
approximation of the blue tones from your jpeg... it's not nearly a perfect
match, but might be enough to serve as a starting point if you wanted to try
this approach yourself. I often find that I get results that I like *better*
than the camera jpeg, if I don't get too hung up on exact duplication.
I might suggest that using a jpg as a starting point warps the creative
spirit right from the outset. What we 'imagine' as an end point of our
image, when we stand looking at our scene is probably entirely alien to
the jpg that the camera manufacturer provides. For me, the raw image is
more like the blank canvas that lets my creativity build color and
texture in conjunction with the taking experience. Trying to emulate
some mechanical process is, as a personal opinion, a rather meaningless
exercise.
Personally, raw + jpg is rather akin to a 'paint-by-numbers' exercise.
It certainly acts as a confidence building procedure for newcomers to
photography or raw processing but cramps the creative juice. Maybe it is
time for you to take your first 'solo flight'.

Hi,
I have my camera configured to save RAW and JPG files. I'm new to darktable
and am trying to process a raw file [1]. But I've not been able to get the
blue of the boat to match the blue in the jpg file [2]. I've tried setting
the white balance to all the presets and picking white parts of the image.
I've also tried fiddling with a few other modules.
Can anyone give me some points of how to do this?
Thanks
Ben
