How to install and use darktable Presets and Styles Just pay attention that lowercase and uppercase letters are different and create therefore a different folder organisation. For example, “Stef Styles|Vintage|The_name_of_the_Style”.

How can I organise the styles in folders and sub-folders? You need to specify the whole path separating the folders and sub-folders with the pipe key “|”.

You should watch my video below (RGB Curves Presets Package) to have a practical example.

UPDATE for version 3.4.0 and above, you can now import and export presets very easily in the Global Preferences > Preview window. When you import the style (maybe on another PC) you need to save that edited module into your preset.

The point is that darktable and lightroom work in a different way and I see highly improbable that you can ever do software to do an exact conversion, with the same look. I have seen in a few forums talks about building a tool.

Can I use Lightroom presets in darktable? Not that I am aware of.

Can’t we use only styles? Yes, you can, however, it’s just easier and quicker to use presets as well.

Or you can select the “black & white film” preset in the Color Zones Module. For example, there is a preset to emulate the Kodak Ektar film output that you can find in the Color Balance module and it changes the colours accordingly.

What are the darktable presets? The darktable presets work as filter or looks, however, only on one single Editing Module, this could be the local contrast only or color zone only or any other.

They include a combination of adjustments that in darktable you usually do in the Editing Modules (local contrast, color zones, etc.) and stored in the History stack (left side of the darkroom view).

What are the darktable styles? They work as filters or looks that you may be already familiar with Instagram or other socials.
