Export to JPEG from Darktable 4.2

@rawnakc Here are two experiments you can try:

Experiment #1:

  • open your raw; take a snapshot of in in darktable
  • export it; then import the exported JPG
  • open the JPG in the darkroom, compare it with the snapshot of the raw.
    Is there a difference? (Some difference is unavoidable, as the raw is rendered to the screen directly from the pipeline, while the JPG’s colours are first restricted to sRGB during the export. However, normally this should be minimal.)

Experiment #2:
Toggle between the following images. It’s the same image (exported from this excellent PlayRaw), resized and surrounded by black or white background. This could simulate how an image looks on a bright vs a dark web page, or Instagram vs a dark-themed editor:
