A number of matrices are provided along with an enhanced color matrix for some camera models. đź”—module controls input profile The profile or color matrix to apply. Note that the final color profile that will be used when exporting the image is controlled by the output color profile module.

This is also influenced by the chosen rendering intent. The user can also explicitly specify a color space for the incoming image, and can even supply a custom ICC color profile specifically made for the input device.ÄŞs part of the mapping from the input color space to the working profile space, the colors can be confined to a certain gamut using the gamut clipping options, which can help to mitigate some (infrequent) color artifacts. If color space information is embedded in the image, the input color profile module will use this information when mapping the colors to the working profile color space. Where an image has been captured in a raw file, the input color profile module will normally apply either a standard or enhanced color matrix specific for that camera model, which will be used to map the colors into the working profile color space.

This means that subsequent modules in the pipeline don’t need to be concerned with the specifics of the input device, and can work with and convert to/from a common working color space. camera, scanner) and converts the pixel encodings to a standardized working color space. This module takes the color space used by the image source (e.g. Define how darktable will interpret the colors of the image.
