Scene referred, display referred, and the Colour Science of Canon/Fujitsu/Nikon/etc. in Darktable (filmic-rgb module in particular)

Dear darktable developers,

I own Nikon D850 camera and it has the following presets:

  • Auto
  • Neutral
  • Standard
  • Vivid
  • Monochrome (with YORG filters)
  • Portrait
  • Lanscape
  • Flat

Besides, I can also choose the following Active D_Lightig options:

  • Off
  • Low
  • Normal
  • High
  • Extra High and
  • Auto

It would be wonderful if you could integrate all these presets and corresponding combinations for my camera. Since my camera is too dumb to choose presets for me and I’m not always sure when to choose which ones myself (except of course for the obvious ones like Portrait and Landscape), it would be nice if I could just shoot in raw and darktable could choose the best combination for me based on the subject. So that I already have a nice output photo from the beginning and I’m not overwhelmed with many complicated modules to work with.

Please do not forget to adjust the presets when I use polarizing or ND filters!

I wish you success, otherwise you miss the future!

Thanks a lot
