One of the contributors to the project had not very nice things to say about the changes in this version. Ranty, but worth listening: https://youtu.be/56e5Yc-IQ84
Oh and he forked the project. Does he still maintain Filmic, or has someone else taken over?
That video is a text book case of burnout, it looks like.

This has nothing to do with the "camera maker's JPEG engine." The RAW file actually contains the camera's settings at the time of shooting, in other software they can re-use those settings to generate something very similar to the embedded JPEG because they're both set up the same. Both Lightroom and Photo Lab do exactly this. If Darktable cannot support reading that information and importing it as a preset, that's f…

You are right, but I'm very sorry to say that attempting to faithfully recreate the look of the manufacturers JPEGs will likely never b…

I shoot Sony and use Darktable exclusively. I think your problem might be the base curve module and its default "Sony" preset, which looks like garbage. Try setting it to "neutral", it should look a lot better (presets are under the little arrow next to the "base curve" header). The base curve presets, if I understand correctly, aim to make the photo look similar to the out of camera JPEGs. In my opinion, they look l…
What do you mean by Filmic? Their website (filmicpro.com?) seems very focused on mobile phone cinematography stuff, not photos.

Darktable replaced Lightroom in my workflow and I haven't looked back since. It is definitely one of my favorite pieces of open source software. I don't know how it's written but it would be awesome to have a browser version without the remote desktop rdp stuff; I might take a look to see how hard it would be to implement when I have the time.
My other issue is that I have filters (custom applied adjustments) that I an loathed give us and can't be bothered trying to replicate.

> current biggest grip with dt... why are those damn arrows at the edges of the screen so tiny??? Expanding and retracting the side panels requires pixel-perfect accuracy on a ~20px target. I know I could use keyboard shortcuts, but my brain isn't wired for them yet. You can make them bigger through some CSS tweaks: https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/development/en/prefere...
It's open source, you can change anything. The UI shouldn't be so annoying and hostile out of the box regardless. I reported this issue on irc years ago and the dev response was so hostile I abandoned trying to use it and never looked back. I pay Adobe $500/year for software that had been tested by users with developers silently watching.
People have a finite slice of their life to give you for nothing. Putting specific suggestions on the issue tracker seems more respectful of their time.
