So I’ve tried RawTherapee over the last couple of weeks and sadly it just doesn’t work for me. There is no good way of culling or staring photos, which is always my first step in photo editing. I saw other people are recommending different programs for this step but I don’t like swapping between program for something this simple.
So I decided to continue searching for the color issue in Windows 10 in hopes that I could return to darktable.
Shockingly I just found something that seems to have fixed 99% of the color problem! After reading around online I read that the display adapters might be the issue. So I opened the Device Manager / Display adapters and I noticed that I had two active adapters, Intel UHD graphics 630 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. The NVIDIA GPU is obviously the better display adapter so I disabled the Intel UHD, restarted and boom! The darktable exported sRGB jpg image is 99% color accurate to the DT in-program RAW rendered image. I say 99% because there is still a very small difference in the saturation where DT is more saturated but it is much better than before and ultimately close enough for my purposes. I should also say I updated my monitor drivers, which were out of date, but this didn’t seem to have any affect on the exported color saturation. Oddly RT seemed to be unaffected by the two display adapters.
I consider this one solved!
