Is there any chance that the alpha layer (if it is present at input) can
be processed along the RGB channels of the image and that the result can
optionally be added as alpha channel to the output?

Not with the current design of darktable. In the long run I could envision a

I've created feature request https://redmine.darktable.org/issues/11186 to keep track.

way to have extra pixel buffers (mostly alpha channels) that could be loaded
with the image and passed through geometry changing steps. So you wouldn't be
able to edit the channel itself

In my case that would not be necessary, since only geometry changes are relevant.

                                (unless there was a module specifically written
to do that, like an inpainting iop for scratch removal ;)) but at least the

Of course I was thinking about this possibility as well. However, the internal infrastructure would be needed anyway, so the scratch removal module would be the least problem and a low hanging fruit after the infrastructure changes.

The scratch removal sketch we discuss on pixls.us is a simple G'MIC one-liner. Simultaneously, David Tschumperlé announced the work on a general G'MIC plugin effort (https://discuss.pixls.us/t/gaap-gmic-as-a-plug-in-work-in-progress). Of course, the idea of adding it to darktable immediately suggests itself, despite the many reasons against such a plan (QT being one of them).

That said, for me an external inpainting solution would be fine, especially since it does not have to mess with colours and therefore problems with this workflow seem unlikely.

alpha channel could be used in the exported image. But as I said, that is
nothing to be expected anytime soon and would require some discussions with
the other devs first.

Thanks for considering my idea, I'll try to keep an eye on IRC the next hours/days ;-).

Best regards
