Hello, I don't know at all from what background/in what situation you are and for the sake of efficiency take some shortcut. Please pardon me and correct me if I'm wrong or misguided. Is the intense saturation something voluntarily added ? I can't believe it was in the real scene. Also, if your pictures are so wildly out of gamut in darktable *and* so saturated in external programs, something must be wrong. When opening a RAW, darktable by default applies a base curve which happens to increase saturation a lot, just like most cameras do when shooting JPEG. For this reason, for most usages now I shoot RAW and turn off base curve in darktable to start from something closer to reality. The first time I did so, I was shocked by the apparent loss of contrast. After that I learned how it is actually a much better starting place, giving much more details and easier control. When the subject appears to lack saturation (which is probably not the case here), instead of enabling base curve or fiddling with curves I first try to just enable velvia effect. Does this relate to your experience ?
