Evaluate the new sigmoid tone mapper just merged into master ...

Hello,

Here are my first observations.

  • works very well with the other modules of Darktable.
  • very good complementarity with the RGB-UCS color balance, the tone equalizer and the new HLR module.
  • sometimes, I prefer to move the local contrast module just before sigmoid in the pipeline.
  • I really appreciate the simplicity of the module and so far I have no negative comments.
    Personally, depending on the photo and the desired result, I will give preference to sigmoid or filmic. I will take the best of both worlds.

Here is a picture of a cicada that has just been born and dries its wings in the sun.
