Clarity in darktable

Then I add a parametric mask, enable the ‘mask-view’ mode and turn the L of the parametric section up till you only have the highlights selected. This way it only works on the highlights (snow) without affecting the rest of the image. Put the feather-radius and mask-blur up a bit so the mask has no sudden edges.

I set up a parametric mask as you describe and then apply a tone curve, pulling it down to increase contrast in the highlights. It works pretty well as long as I’m not too aggressive with it.
