Before considering a fix: any idea how the "substract" operator should
act in the Lab color space?
I have no idea ;-).
Actually, my guess is that "subtract" is useful to blend two totally
different images together (e.g. blend a black&white text onto an image
for a dodge&burn effect). For darktable where blending is done between
the original image and the image transformed by the module, I'm not
even sure "subtract" is a relevant thing to do. The fact that it's been
broken for years without anyone noticing is probably a sign that no
one ever found it useful.
I am guilty of never using it in darktable, but the usage could be to
see _where_ in the image the applied module is acting. I mean, for
example, if you really are subtracting, and you are applying an high
pass, you should see a black image (no variation) with just the edge
highlighted.
Now, I have tried with a grayscale image and it seems to work, so I am a
bit surprised... with a color image it is not working, I agree.
