New Sigmoid Scene to Display mapping – #748 by 123sg – darktable

I like it. But it reads a bit like a technical document first, and an artistic description second. Softening it with an anslog-film analogy or something like that in the introduction might make it more approachable.

Also, the very first sentence (“easy to use and robust”) makes it sound like its alternatives are not easy, or not robust. While I don’t necessarily disagree, a more neutral wording might be less provocative.

Speaking of that, I am missing some justification re: filmic. What does sigmoid excel at, and what are its shortcomings? It might be good to explicitly spell that out (very neutrally) in the docs. Probably in both filmic and sigmoid’s docs, eventually.
