The Problem
Back when I first started bringing CR2s into darktable for editing, the image in the lighttable and darkroom would look pretty similar to as it did on the camera with the same vibrant colors and nice contrast.
However, since then, I'm not sure what's happened, but now every time I am caught an image into dark table, I see the nice preview like on the camera until I open the image in the darkroom or allow it to be processed in the full screen lighttable view. Then it becomes really flat and quite nasty looking and requires a bunch of editing to bring it back up to what it originally looked like.
Soloution
I'm not sure if this is a integral feature to the darktable workflow, but I would love if there was a way to turn that off for most images and still have all the raw editing freedom, but be able to start editing with the image looking like how it was taken in camera.
Sometimes it's nice to have that level of processing, but often it just slows down the development process.
Context
I edit on my 2020 M1, MacBook Air, and my main shooter is the Canon r10. The MacBook is running Sonoma, and I'm on the latest version of Darktable (5.2.0).
