Hi Matt,
     I was having a few images come up too dark but having uncheck the 
"compensate camera exposure" box gives Filmic a more expected behaviour. I am 
not sure why that option even exists as I expect that if I use EV comp on the 
camera, I want EV comp applied not removed.

Thanks for the tip.

Subject: Re: [darktable-user] Compensate camera exposure

If I take a photo where I bumped up the exposure compensation dial +1EV on my 
camera to "expose the the right", then when I import the image, by default 
exposure module adds the +0.5EV exposure, and takes off the +1EV I added using 
the camera exposure dial, to give me a net -0.5EV exposure adjustment. If I 
uncheck the "compensate camera exposure" box, then the picture brightens up by 
+1EV, no longer compensating for that +1EV I dialled in to the camera when I 
took the shot.

So, it all seems to work as expected. Do you see something different? How are 
you getting that automatic increment of +1.25EV? That's not in the code, so it 
must be an auto-apply preset you have defined. Did you have the "compensate 
camera exposure" box ticked when you defined the preset? If not, then the 
preset will not activate this compensation.

Exposure on my RAW files is automatically incremented by 1.25 EV (Fujifilm 
camera) as a result of the current filmic auto operation. I have in addition 
checked the box for an adjustment based on "compensate camera exposure". These 
2 EV adjustment should be cumulative but currently the second adjustment is not 
being applied.

Anybody else seeing this?

David
