Just guessing from your recent posting you have adjusted a preset or and import style to always apply "monocrome". You may partially test this by starting dt from the command line as: darktable --library :memory: open an image which displayed your "rash" in darkroom mode look at history in left panel you should see something like: 4 orentation 3 display encoding 2 output color profile 1 input color profile 0 original any other entries such as "monocrone" would be due to you setting them deliberately. note that the list may be different for different cameras (I don't know) but this is what I see importing a new image with default configuration. I suggest that from your multitude of problems that you begin with a new install and new configurations, library, ... , and do your own tests. *** and read the fine manual *** -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
