Tone equalizer problem

As for your challenge - I checked. I re-edited my edits and to my amazement it’s faster with better results, less halo-ing etc linear editing for teh win

Completely with you there. I re-did about 300 edits with the new workflow and did a before/after comparison on all of them. I think there were maybe five where filmic wasn’t as good as my previous edits (most of these were Harry-Durgin-esque multi-pass edits). All of the rest took far fewer steps to get to a far better result.

I have experience with Video editors and for example with Color corrector in Vegas I am simply able to do white balance even some color grading together. But so far very hard to do the same (white balance) using Color balance in Darktable.

I am just saying with new workflow I sometimes need more steps, maybe I just need more practice and experience.

darktable separates hue (which is the angle on the colour wheels) from the saturation (which is the radius on the color wheels). Color wheels are great if you are working with the actual hardware thing : Media | Blackmagic Design, but on an UI primarily driven from a mouse pointer, I find them unreliable more than anything. Still, the principle is exactly the same : you just have 2 linear coordinates instead of 1 polar button.
