Hello,

I have been using darktable with various Nikon cameras (mostly D60 and D5200 and occasionally a couple of shots of other, mostly Nikon, cameras) and have not observed such color bias so hard to overcome.

What I noticed, however, is that the base curve module changes hues and increases saturation significantly. Its high increase in medium-light contrast comes at the cost of loss in shadows and highlights. Depending on the output medium and audience, I sometimes use presets "similar Nikon", "alternate similar Nikon", "natural", or even disable the module. I noticed that disabling the module (and compensating by increasing the luminosity of the display, which is not an option when the final output is paper) provides the most natural colors.

Can you post RAW and JPEG files that illustrate the problem ? I'd like to see what you observed.

Thanks.

Hello list,

recently I have been experimenting with raw NEF files from a Nikon D750 in Darktable 1.6. Compared to the camera rendered JPG however, at initial import the colors seemed significantly off. In particular, the camera JPGs had fairly natural skin tones even with indoor lighting and auto WB, whereas the same shots imported as NEF files into Darktable had by default rather unnatural orange-ish skin colors. Overall WB also seemed a bit off (somewhat yellow-greenish I would say), even though WB in Darktable was set to camera WB. I'm by all means a beginner, so I'm probably doing something wrong, but toying with WB, saturation, tone curves etc., I found it very hard to even match the camera JPG color quality, let alone improve on it.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot
