# The Process
- Lens Correction
- Set overall image brightness
- exposure module
- Set White & Black Points (filmic)
- Contrast (Look tab Filmic)
- Saturation
- Demosaic
- Denoise Profiled
A number of modules can be used to adjust the local contrast and sharpness of your image.
- Contrast Equalizer
- Diffuse or Sharpen 🔥
- Local Contrast - ==enabling== if often enough
- the sharpen module is intended to re-introduce sharpness that was removed by your camera’s anti-alias filter
While a well-exposed image will make post-processing much easier, darktable provides some tools handle blown highlights, in some cases even reconstructing lost colors or structure.
- Highlight reconstruction - By default, if any color channel is clipped, this module will clip the other channels, making the pixel white – this prevents darktable from showing unnatural colors in the highlights.
