Which version of dt are you using?

With dt 1.4 or an early 1.5   I had much the same problem and whatever I did 
couldn’t get near lightroom for cloud detail.  However there have been big 
improvements and  after  updating to current master two or three months ago dt 
was much better, in fact at least as good as LR.

Subject: [Darktable-users] Question regarding handling of highlights.

Hello!


I'm using Darktable for a while now, believing that it is indeed a great 
program with an amazing set of features.

But lately it has come to my attention that the handling of highlights in not 
on par with other programs, like shown in this example:

Result with Rawtherapee, same was possible with Lightroom:

If you look at the sky there is clearly a difference in quality.

The RAW file can be found here:

Is there some trick I am missing (I tried every curve I found) or just room for 
some further improvement of Darktable?

I think that's quite an important topic because one of the main reasons to use 
RAW is the somewhat larger dynamic range that can be recovered - at least if 
the used tool supports that properly.


Best regards

Bambasti
