: Choose which modules and module order are applied to new RAW image edits by default:

- _scene-referred (filmic)_ (default) assumes that most processing will be performed in a linear RGB color space. Selecting this option automatically enables the [_filmic rgb_](../module-reference/processing-modules/filmic-rgb.md), [_exposure_](../module-reference/processing-modules/exposure.md) and [_color calibration_](../module-reference/processing-modules/color-calibration.md) modules for new edits and sets the module order to _v3.0 RAW_.

- _scene-referred (sigmoid)_ (default) assumes that most processing will be performed in a linear RGB color space. Selecting this option automatically enables the [_sigmoid_](../module-reference/processing-modules/sigmoid.md), [_exposure_](../module-reference/processing-modules/exposure.md) and [_color calibration_](../module-reference/processing-modules/color-calibration.md) modules for new edits and sets the module order to _v3.0 RAW_.

The _exposure_ module includes an automatic exposure adjustment of +0.7 EV (to provide a midtone brightening comparable to the +0.5 to +1.2 EV typically added by in-camera tone curves), and automatically enables the "compensate camera exposure" option for the filmic workflow. Both of these settings are intended to provide a reasonable starting-point for RAWs produced by a broad range of SLR and mirrorless cameras, but they can be overridden with an automatically-applied preset if the defaults produce consistently dark images for your camera.

In the scene-referred workflows, the [_color calibration_](../module-reference/processing-modules/color-calibration.md) module acts in conjunction with the [_white balance_](../module-reference/processing-modules/white-balance.md) module as the modern way to handle white balance and chromatic adaptation with improved color science. Note that when using the color calibration module, the white balance module needs to be active and set to "Camera Reference" mode (this will be done automatically and warnings will appear if the two modules have inconsistent settings). When using both modules as prescribed, it is still possible to auto-detect white-balance from a specific area of the image by selecting the CCT picker tool in the CAT tab of color calibration.

- _scene-referred (sigmoid)_ follows the same assumptions and overall flow as _scene-referred (filmic)_, with the exception that it auto-enables the [_sigmoid_](../module-reference/processing-modules/sigmoid.md) module for tone mapping in place of _filmic rgb_.

- _display-referred (legacy)_ is the legacy mode (used by default in darktable 2.6 and earlier) and assumes that most processing will be performed in the Lab color space. Selecting this option automatically enables the [_base curve_](../module-reference/processing-modules/base-curve.md) module for tone mapping and sets the module order to _legacy_. This workflow uses only the _white balance_ module for chromatic adaptation.
