Notice the extra contrast in the shadows with the Sigmoid module turned on and the difference in histogram.

Image without and with the Sigmoid module applied. If you need more contrast, the contrast slider really works wonders. You’re image will suddenly come alive with much more contrast and a much nicer look than Filmic RGB generally gives. Images processed with this module rarely need more than the turning on of the module. For many images you can bypass using Filmic RGB and use Sigmoid instead. I’ve tested the module extensively in the early release versions, and I’m glad to say it’s a worthy addition to Darktable. It’s an alternative to the Filmic RBG module, and it’s much simpler to use.

Version 4.2 kicks off with a very new module. You can also give your images ratings and tags to ensure that if you have a lot of images, you can find what you need quickly and efficiently. It has advanced masking features that mean you can target the exact areas you need to adjust.Įvery tool you expect from an editing package is available, plus it has a light table view that allows you to see all your images in one place, and compare or cull images. The latest (as of January 2023) version of Darktable.ĭarktable 4.2 features the most comprehensive tools to control the colour in your images, and includes everything you need for a complete workflow.
