Sincere thanks for your offer, jys! However, after reading Aurélien's excellent article <https://pixls.us/articles/darktable-3-rgb-or-lab-which-modules-help/>, and with your comment, I've a better idea of how to use filmic and exposure to replace base curve and use a couple of the other modules such as color balance, tone and contrast equalizers, &c., to tweak the photo the way I like it. Sadly, it is like learning DT all over again. I formerly used many of the older Lab modules. Finding some presets that I like in these newer or recommended modules will be a challenge, but Aurélien has convinced me that migrating away from the older Lab modules results in cleaner processing and fewer artifacts. Now I need to go back and watch some of his videos again <https://www.youtube.com/c/Aur%C3%A9lienPIERREPhoto/videos>.
