This preset provides a minimal set of modules targeted as a starting point for beginners. (special) effects modules “Special effect” modules such as watermark, framing, vignetting, etc. These presets define groups of modules relevant to the scene-referred and display-referred workflows, sorted into groups as shown below:īase modules A basic set of modules to adjust the cropping/orientation, adjust the exposure, and apply tone mappings and contrast as appropriate to the workflow.Ĭolor modules Modules relating to color grading and color saturation.Ĭorrective modules Modules relating to correcting problems relating to lens distortions, sensor noise, sharpening, retouching, etc. 🔗 workflow: scene-referred & workflow: display-referred

(special) effects modules “Special effect” modules such as retouch, liquify, bloom, sharpen, etc. Grading modules Modules concerned with primary (corrective) and secondary (creative) corrections of colors and tones. Technical modules Modules that deal with technical issues relating to the physics of sensors and denoising, lenses and associated corrections, color profiles, dynamic range and tone mapping, and recovering from damage to the image by physical limitations (hot pixels, clipped highlights, etc.). This preset is the default module group layout from darktable 3.4 onwards and consists of a simplified set of module groups, as follows: Tone modules Other modules related to tone levels and contrast.Ĭolor modules Modules related to color grading and color profiles.Ĭorrective modules Modules related to correcting problems such as lens distortions, sensor noise, sharpening, etc. This preset contains all modules, sorted according to the traditional module groupings used prior to darktable 3.4, as follows:īase modules The minimal set of modules normally required to render a presentable image. All except the modules: deprecated group include the search bar. These are summarized below.Īll of these presets (with the exception of modules: deprecated and search only) also include the quick access panel. A number of pre-defined module groups are shipped with darktable and are selectable as presets.
