You might use this: https://pixls.us/articles/profiling-a-camera-with-darktable-chart/ But this approach isn’t useful when using filmic, since color lookup table and tonecurve are mandatory. Best solution to get nikon colors is using the software provided by nikon ;) > Am 04.11.2020 um 23:36

Re: [darktable-user] Compensate camera exposure

2020-11-04 Thread David Vincent-Jones
Maybe I need to explain in a better manner. It was suggested that the viewfinder  and JPG output from the camera is brighter than the equivalent RAW data on all cameras. Some cameras 1/3 stop, some 1/5 and on Fuji cameras as much as 1.25 stops. The inference is that our 'correct' exposure is

When you take an image with your camera, the auto-metering will normally try to set the exposure so that the average brightness of the image is around middle grey. However, if the scene is dominated by dark tones, this can cause the exposure to set brigher, and cause highlights to be clipped. So,

Hi Matt, I was having a few images come up too dark but having uncheck the "compensate camera exposure" box gives Filmic a more expected behaviour. I am not sure why that option even exists as I expect that if I use EV comp on the camera, I want EV comp applied not removed. Thanks for

If I take a photo where I bumped up the exposure compensation dial +1EV on my camera to "expose the the right", then when I import the image, by default exposure module adds the +0.5EV exposure, and takes off the +1EV I added using the camera exposure dial, to give me a net -0.5EV exposure

Exposure on my RAW files is automatically incremented by 1.25 EV (Fujifilm camera) as a result of the current filmic auto operation. I have in addition checked the box for an adjustment based on "compensate camera exposure". These 2 EV adjustment should be cumulative but currently the second

Your camera JPG is produced using Nikon's secret and special 'sauce' and achieving an identical result would be difficult. People who shoot RAW files generally believe that they can hand craft a result that is at least similar but probably better than that which the camera manufacturer can
