For the last time (I hope), filmic highlights “reconstruction” is first and foremost aimed at ensuring smooth transition between area that will clipped at filmic’s output and non-clipped areas.

This I finally realized the other day! Highlight smoothing may be a less misleading term for describing what it actually does?

Still longing for better true reconstruction in darktable. When “reconstruct color” in the “highlight reconstruction” works (not often) I’m happy, but it mostly leads to crazy color shifts. I’m sure it can’t be as easy as borrowing some reconstruction code from RawTherapee or here?
