Hi,
I’m trying to create a darktable style with white balance set “as shot to reference” and color calibration to default value.
Ok for color calibration : saving the style I tick “include” and “reset”.
For white balance I tick “include”.
But when I apply this style to new images, the white balance is set to “user modified” with the calculated / extracted value found from the image used to create the style.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to apply “as shot to reference” white balance in darkroom for each picture one by one ?
With your setting for the new image you are using the same wb as for the image you made the style with, so this will be “modified” on a new image…Normally you don’t include wb in a style. For the current defaults DT is using as shot wb for part of the pipeline and then it applies the CAT with the CC module…
What are you trying to achieve with this style??

Thanks !
I think I understand that.
I just want to test a workflow replacing white balance by color calibration.
With the default WV “as shot” you’ve got a double error ( WB and CC modules) : “white balance applied twice” or “white balance module error”.
The only way to get rid of this problem is to set wb module “camera reference” or “as shot to reference”
Searching a little bit more and find : to use a correct color calibration workflow; I have to select “auto apply pixel workflow defaults : scene-referred” instead of “none”.
With “none” as “auto apply pixel workflow defaults”, it seems impossible to use a style to have a “color calibration” workflow instead of “wb” workflow.
When creating a style include the minimum number of modules needed to create that style. In your case don’t include WB or CC module. I have created a style for my Canon R7 to produce a starting point close to the camera’s JPG. I have only included the customised modules required to create this look. The unticked modules are automatically set by DT for the individual shot and don’t need to be included in the style and their inclusion can cause undesirable and unpredictable results.

This problem is the wb…if your style is based on a certain wb it will apply that using the style…for most images this will become user modified and then cc will fire the warning…

Why don’t you select one of the scene-referred workflows in preferences/processing? They come with that method out of the box.
