I exported this image as an EXR from Darktable:
But when I import it to GIMP it looks like this:
Can someone explain what is happening here?
Should I be using tiffs? I’d like to export the image that contains the most information from Darktable to edit in GIMP.
I’ve also tested 32 bit float tiffs, those look the same in gimp as in darktable.
edit: nvm, i think this is a bug so here it is:

**Describe the bug**
Darktable exported EXR doesn't look like the edit that is being exported.
**To Reproduce**
1. Open any raw image in darktable (in scene referred enabled in the settings mode)
2. Lower the exposure a lot (like 5 EV)
3. Export that edit as an EXR file (original resolution, no compression, high quality resampling enabled)
4. Import the exr that we just exported back to darktable, gimp, krita, hdrview or any other app that can import exr.
5. Observe the different look then your edit.
**Expected behavior**
**Screenshots**
My edit:
The exr:
**Platform (please complete the following information):**
- Darktable Version: 3.3.0~git1480.0781e97ea
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- OpenCL activated
- Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520]
**Additional context**
<!-- Add any other context about the problem here, for example:
- Can you reproduce with another Darktable version?
- Can you reproduce with a RAW or Jpeg or both?
- Are the steps above reproduce with a fresh edit (removing history)?
- Attach an XMP if this is necessary
- Did you compile Darktable yourself? If so which compiler was used, with what options?
- Is the issue still present using an empty/new config-dir

I had some initial problems exporting as exr to be used in GIMP and did some tests to figure out what worked. I ended up creating a export preset that uses openexr with linear rec 709 rgb as profile and relative colorimetric as intent.
I’m using this with darktable 3.2 stable versions (also 3.0) and GIMP 2.10.20 and the above works nicely for me. Haven’t tried this with the newer 2.10.22 GIMP version and darktable’s development version though.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!
