Hi. In DT 2.6.2 color grading of my D7200 RAW files produced more natural results and was quite close to that what Nikon's native Capture NX-D does. Have no idea how to restore my image processing workflow on Darktable 3.0 to get identical result as they were DT 2.6.2. I did try all chroma preservation options in the base curve module, none of them was as close to the camera's JPEG as the DT 2.6.2 did by default. The image still looks less saturated than the JPEG. I have turned off all automatic JPEG processing enhacements at my camera to make my results more predictable, no extra saturation is added, usually I slightly add saturation in post. When I try to increase the saturation then the skin tones get weird - everything what is red on the face (lips, spots e.t.c.) are being accentuated and the skin still looks more pale and grey that it was in DT 2.6.2 when i did increase saturation. The point is that I can't get to the state when the colors at starting point were OK for me as it was in DT 2.6.2. I did a lot of experiments and still can't find a way to match the skin tones. The base curve presets for my D7200 in both DT versions look identical. The problem is that they produce now different results no matter how I change the base curve module options. If I try to fix skin tones in DT 3.0 the color adjustments are shifting colors on other image parts and e.g. clothes and background get wrong colors. I did not have such notable issues with DT 2.6.2.
