module proposal: gamut compression

Software darktable
36

Thanks for another cool module!

Here’s my observations after playing for half an hour:

  1. Is definitely an improvement on simply using rendering intent.

  2. Defaults of placing it before output profile (using export profile as target space) and 20% compression work very well. On some occasions - such as on some highly saturated flowers - I can make a case for placing it before the tone curve (still using export profile as target space), to retain a bit more detail in the petals, but not all. Probably not enough to justify changing the default settings. Try it on this: Red flower monster

  3. The highlight negative components checkbox is great to show just how well the auto pickers work. Now I just trust the auto pickers, and don’t need the checkbox.
