User Interface about darktable HOT 3 CLOSED

There is no single module with equivalents of all those controls.

Exposure module for exposure.
ColorbalanceRGB, FilmicRGB, or Sigmoid for global contrast.
Tone Equalizer or legacy Shadows&Highlights for shadows and highlights.
Not sure how "Whites" differs from "Highlights", but probably Tone Equalizer or possibly white level in FilmicRGB.

You should ask on https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/darktable/19

That's what I thought too. I hope in the next iteration of darktable there is a simplfied version of the exposure module that has all the exposure highlights, shadows, whites and blacks and then use the other modules for more detailed tweaking. Thanks for the reply.

That would be a far more complex module, not a simplified version. And it would put many of the controls at the wrong point in the processing chain, yielding poor results. darktable briefly had a basic adjustments module, which was deprecated and replaced by the quick access panel for exactly that reason.

DARKTABLE IS NOT LIGHTROOM. You can customize the quick access panel to put all the relevant controls more or less together, but trying to make it work exactly alike will be an exercise in frustration, just like trying to use any of the commercial competitors in exactly the same way would be.
