The feature to drag and drop an image file that contains EXIF data to add a virtual camera entry for the corresponding camera, allowing to then configure profiles for it, has unfortunately been dropped.
Adding virtual camera entry can still be done manually though:

colormgr device-set-vendor 'user-Vendor_Model' 'Vendor'
colormgr device-set-model 'user-Vendor_Model' 'Model'
colormgr device-set-serial 'user-Vendor_Model' '0123456789'
Filmic, darktable and the quest of the HDR tone mapping - an in depth description of the darktable Filmic module by its author.
The exposure
module should be before the input color correction
module, as ICC profiles are optimized for the midtones.
When facing strong chromatic aberrations, setting
preserve chrominace
to maxRGB
in the
filmic
module sometimes helps.
Note: darktable Camera Color Profiling is obsoleted by the introduction of the color calibration module.
Lens aberration correction only affects the JPEG image, thus is safe to leave turned on without interfering with Lensfun based correction in the RAW process.
Picture Profile settings do affect still images as well, including RAW images!
With APS-C/Super 35mm
mode is set to Auto
, it
not only is activated when a APS-C lens is attached, but also in movie
recording mode, when 4K video is recorded (file format set to
XAVC S 4K
).
This is to achieve highest detail in each format.
4K video is downsampled from a higher resolution readout in crop mode,
whereas it is pixel-binned in non-crop mode.
With Full-HD video, however, non-crop mode yields more detail than crop
mode.
