If I understand correctly what you are saying * you are taking images with -1 EV * you want to dial up +1EV automatically when importing into darktable I can't help but ask... why did you dial that -1 EV in the first place if you like the 0 EV look better ? is this to avoid over-exposure ? I don

Welcome to darktable (and Pentax :) ). As I think has been said it's probably a bad idea to expose to the left as it guarantees suboptimal results for dynamic range and noise. Exposing normally or to the right is the way to go, normally, unless you actually want noisy shadowse or some other 'a

A quick read up on Gorman-Holbert conversion claimed this was basically taking just the luminance info from LAB mode and then darkening the result with a multiply blend. My guess is that the monochrome module (like most dt modules) operates natively in LAB mode and essentially uses the same pro
