Better color rendering?

@priort

When will the diffuse module get merged do you think?? Soon after 3.6??

It’s ready for merging, so as soon as @Pascal_Obry finds time.

@afre

If it is related to Possibly a new deconvolution module for Darktable , then it may still take a while. I think the time spent is trying to get it to be fast enough for practical use.

Well, it’s related from the feature point of view, but the machinery is different, relies on fewer assumptions , is more generic and a tad faster.

@priort

AP why dithering for this image and you modified the defaults to random and -60db…what guides that decision and setting?? Just curious

Because it looks good and prevents banding in gradients once converted to JPEG.

@davidvj

I was struck by the simplicity of this process … and the fine (very fine) result.

That’s what doing the right thing in the right color space can do for you…

Thanks AP. I just wondered so if you are outputting to JPG do you always use it? I found it tough to notice visually differences on the screen unless you went to an extreme and then it speckles. I guess i could output with and without to check how that looks. I understood what the intent was from revisiting the manual I just wondered if it was something in the image that triggered you or if you routinely add it…Thx

Good, it is 2021 after all. If you can offer an explanation that would be great.
