darktable-chart

The darktable-chart binary is a dedicated utility to create styles out of pairs of images such as RAW+JPEG with in-camera processing. Details about its usage can be found in the using darktable-chart section.

darktable-chart can either start a GUI or be used as a command-line program.

darktable-chart
              [--help]
              [<input Lab pfm file>]
              [<cht file>]
              [<reference cgats/it8 or Lab pfm file>]

All parameters are optional, however, if you want to supply the second file name you also need to supply the first one. Starting darktable-chart this way opens a special GUI (details can be found in the using darktable-chart section).

--help

Provide usage information and terminate.

<input Lab pfm file>

<reference cgats/it8 or Lab pfm file>

Alternatively darktable-chart can be used as a command line program to generate darktable style files using previously saved CSV files.

darktable-chart
              --csv
              <csv file>
              <number patches>
              <output dtstyle file>

All parameters are mandatory.
