If depends on how your are managing them. If you are using script_manager, then go to the contrib tab and click the Enable GIMP button. If you are using a luarc file, i.e. ~/.config/darktable/luarc, then make sure it has the line require "contrib/gimp". Bill On Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 7:49 AM

What the script does is add a new export target, file to collection. You select the image you want to export, select the file format, then do the export. The exported image is imported back into lighttable and grouped with the original image. For instance let's say I have an image _7D_1234.cr2.

Ideally you could create a style with the watermark module set to off, then apply the style and get rid of the watermark. But, there is a bug either with the watermark module or the history stack and this doesn't work. I filed a bug report, but haven't had a chance to work on it yet. In the
