About three weeks ago, spring on the lake …
Made with darktable 5.0.1
I’m interested on different takes on this scene …

On my monitor I get a sort of vintage (maybe aged) slide film colour rendition (like Agfa CT18), and I like it …
Beautiful colour contrast, a bit like in the autumn …
Must install the latest ART and see how you made it …
Just playing a bit with extremes …
Made with darktable 5.0.1
I’m happy that you like it, but any vintage effect is coincidence, I live in here and now and I usually don’t try to simulate any vintage film look. If i want a film look, I take my good old Ricoh XR-X. I always prefer the original over replicas. Anyway I use it seldom these days. I simply prefer the capabilities of modern cameras.
This is a different story on cars where I definitely prefer the fun of older cars over modern cars. But here is the way the goal on cameras the result (at least for me).
Using and concentrating on @kofa 's latest AgX build. Fantstic module. Can’t wait to see it in master.

Something similar with me, photography has been my hobby for a long time now. I also occasionally use my old Pentax LX, but nowadays I prefer digital workflow to the chemical one. I believe photos can convey a certain mood or feeling, therefore I try to use image editing accordingly, for a “modern”, “vintage”, or some other look.
Luckily darktable is the ideal tool for these purposes.
Wonderful, this looks really good…
I’m reading a lot about the AgX module in darktable. I have to make some time to install this build and play with it …
Hi Roberto, what kind of film simulation did you use? I loaded your arp files but did not get the same nice reds. I checked the .arp file and see that Film Simulation is enabled, but no film is selected. I guess because I don’t have the same one as you used.
I felt a warm fuzzy glow when I saw a Pentax Raw file. My first D-SLRs were Pentax and I still have fond memories of them.
My edit is DT 5.1 and I really wanted a blue sky so that was achieved with color equalizer and color zones module.
Tried to do something similar with ART and AgX (Kodak Ultramax 400 on Kodak Endura Premier):
Hi,
I finally came around to installing ART 1.25.4, and loaded your arp file. I noticed you used OpenDRL.ctl in Film Simulation module. Here I have presumably the same question as @tankist02.
Can you please give us some more information …
Thank you for your kind post. I’ve been using Pentax cameras since my first one (Pentax LX) in the early 80’, and I still do now. There are two main reasons for that: the camera features are well suited for the photography I do (mostly nature /landscape, macro/, and some travel & architecture, and, second, these cameras are very robust, durable (handy for hiking, bad weather, …), and have excellent ergonomics…
Your rendition is beautifully realistic - it looks exactly as the scene is looking at this time of the year. I would like to see your editing, but opening your V5.1 xmp file in darktable 5.01 would probably not bring much.
I would very much like to also try the development version, but I’m a bit unsure about its stability - I really have no information either positive or negative.
As I use darktable stable version as my main app, I would like to install the development version in parallel.
Do you have it also installed in parallel to the current stable version (5.0.1)? If so, how do you install & configure the development version, so that it accesses the same raw files without interfering with the stable version?
For the reference: my system is Linux (Mint), and darktable is compiled from source.
