You can't divide a module if internally it's a single operation. However, since a couple of versions you can use the quick access panel to simulate a simpler version of the GUI ( https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/3.8/en/darkroom/organization/quick-access-panel/). So in principle you could create there a CAT-only version of the calibration module and completely ignore the rest until you need it.

Re: [darktable-user] Color calibration overloaded?
Right, I suspected that was the case. However, is it necessary to have a strong coupling between the actual processing and the UI?

Short answer: all the various ways of using the color calibration module use the same math, and all the settings can be combined into one 3×3 matrix, which makes the module very efficient. Splitting the module means more calculations, more conversions, and more exchanges between main memory and GPU memory. darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

Re: [darktable-user] Color calibration overloaded?
I am not an expert by any means, but I came across this link posted in this list recently and was reading about it. Perhaps this link might help to answer few questions as it has some explanation. https://discuss.pixls.us/t/introducing-color-calibration-module-formerly-known-as-channel-mixer-rgb/21227 Regards, Niranjan On 7/14/22 08:15, Mikael Ståldal wrote: Is it only me who thinks that the color calibration module is quite overloaded with functionality, at least from a UI perspective?

[darktable-user] Color calibration overloaded?
Is it only me who thinks that the color calibration module is quite overloaded with functionality, at least from a UI perspective? The user manual says "This simple yet powerful module can be used in the following ways:" then lists five ways for it to be used, and then follows a very long description of all the options.
