Darktable/Gimp how to fix daylight photos shot with Flash white balance

[kofa (István Kovács)]

Darktable, using the modern workflow ignores what the camera has set and tries to figure it out on its own.

I don’t think that is true. There are two auto (‘AI’) options, but by default it reads the camera’s settings, but then switches to either to one of the standard illuminants (e.g., Daylight), or to custom.

@pittendrigh:

• you can try setting white balance to camera reference, enable color calibration, set the illuminant to Daylight, and drag the temperature slider:
  
  
  You can then switch the illuminant to custom, and fine-tune:
  

• Alternatively, turn off color calibration, and in white balance, set the daylight preset of the D7000:
  
  

That would give you a starting point. You can then tweak finetune, temperature and tint, or adjust the coefficients directly.

With only white balance, without tweaking, except for some local contrast + sharpening:

With color calibration (and white balance: camera reference), using the eye dropper in color calibration and filmic v6 in preserve chrominance: luminance Y:
