So you want to buy a new camera?

Seeing your example made me think of this post…

RGB calculation: Color picker and display (wrong), exposure module (solved)

Can someone explain to me, why the exposure module and color picker in darktable is doing the calculation not linear and therefor not correct? Please correct me, if I am wrong or do miss something basic with my following interpretation. In the next graphic you see a 50 % checkerboard in the background. In the foreground are two homogenously filled areas. With zoom 100 % the background should have the average intensity of 50 % and therefor roughly sRGB=186 (right side area) and not the left side…

Did you see this?? What is your opinion on how the color calculations are handled…

Likely best to respond or post on that thread if you have any feedback so as not to hijack this one…
