This is more flexible, allowing you to use different approaches for different image sources, etc. > In other words, is there a distinct disadvantage to using the > scene-referred pixelpipe with base curve and not filmic? Now that the basecurve module has been moved towards the end of the pipe like filmic, there's no reason you can't adhere to the same "scene-referred" guidelines even when using that module... but filmic is just so much faster and easier to make adjustments with, that it really makes more sense to create a filmic preset similar to whatever basecurve preset you like to use, and always start with that. You then have the option of just making some adjustments from there, or clicking the reset button and starting from scratch. If there's a particular basecurve that you want some help emulating with filmic/exposure presets, name it, and I'll take a shot at it when I have time... I find it to be an interesting exercise. :-) -- jys ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
