Hi Bertwin,
the scene referred workflow applies a counter adjustment to your
in-camera exposure value adjustment. If you look in the exposure module you
will see a box ticked by default for ' Compensate camera exposure'. This may be
the cause of your issue. I use exposure bracketing most of the time and DT will
open all my bracketed images looking the same rather than dark or light or
normal. I am not sure of the logic of this default behaviour as I usually want
to keep the exposure compensation from the camera.
If this problem doesn't solve the issue just move the exposure slider along a
little to get the look you want. DT takes a bit of learning but is worth the
effort to learn. I prefer it so much over other programs such as LR. Let me
know how you get along with this issue.

Subject: [darktable-user] Imported images are always way too dark
Hi,
When I import a series of images straight from the camera (Nikon D850, Nikon
nef format) in Darktable (scene-referred workflow), the images invariably show
up as way too dark, as if they are underexposed. The histogram shows a big
unexposed part on the highlights. I am pretty sure though that when I took the
pictures the exposure is about right (according to the camera histogram). The
camera-generated jpg is also ok.
What can be the cause of this and what can I do about it?
Kind Regards,
Bertwim
