Re: [darktable-user] HowTo reset a module (exposure) within darkroom to defaults?

2023-03-14 Thread Terry Pinfold
I concur that the best way to achieve this is to make a pre-set. I have
made a list of pre-sets with the black level correction set to -0.0002
which is recommended by AP to avoid negative numbers.

Whatever I did this module keeps "compensate camera exposure" active, sets
exposure to +0.7ev and black level correction to -0.0002.
I'd like to have it:
* "compensate camera exposure" inactive,
* "exposure" set to 0.0ev, and
* "black level correction" to 0.0

Any idea how to set defaults without creating a new setting?

If you want exactly those values, best use a auto-applied preset.

I *think* the black level correction is always set to -0.0002 to avoid
introducing negative values. "Compensate camera exposure" and the +0.7EV
exposuse are the defaults when you use the "scene-referred" for "auto-apply
pixel workflow default". If you use "none" there, those should be inactive (?)
(but you get *no* default activated modules)

Yes, the only way to get what you want is to have no default workflow, 
i. e., setting workflow to "none" in the Preferences. I have set up a 
number of styles for the various workflows I use (black and white, 
colour film, colour digital, etc) which I apply to whichever image I am 
working on.  Creating a style is easy: enable and set up the the modules 
you always use for the type of image, then right-click on the symbol on 
the bottom right of the history stack, then fill in the pop-up with name 
and check the modules you would like to be part of the style. When you 
have an image in front of you, you can then apply the style by clicking 
on the Styles from the right margin in lighttable view, or clicking on 
the middle symbol on the bottom left of the darktable view.  Should you 
wish to tweak a style, follow the same procedure but give it the same 
name and dt will ask if you want to overwrite it. I find this better 
than using auto-applied presets since you do not have to worry about an 
inappropriate module being activated for a particular workflow.

[darktable-user] HowTo reset a module (exposure) within darkroom to defaults?

2023-03-14 Thread Thomas Schweikle

Hi!

How can I reset a module, here exposure, to defaults?
Whatever I did this module keeps "compensate camera exposure" active, sets 
exposure to +0.7ev and black level correction to -0.0002.

I'd like to have it:
* "compensate camera exposure" inactive,
* "exposure" set to 0.0ev, and
* "black level correction" to 0.0

Any idea how to set defaults without creating a new setting?
