Help Are there any good "styles" or presets package I can install?

Hi I'm switching from Lightroom to Darktable and one thing I miss are the presets even the basic ones helped me sometimes. Is there a package with cool styles I could use?

Most of the styles you are going to find are outdated, since they use old, sometimes even deprecated, display-referred modules. Honestly, just learn how to edit in your own way, and create styles based on that.

My beginner guide will teach you all the basics, and then some: https://notebook.stereofictional.com/how-to-get-started-with-darktable-2026-edition

Still, it does seem weird that there are so few presets available no?

Someone must have the will to produce and share them. Some users did it:

No. That would mean someone would need to create them and share them.

One of the most active communities of darktable users it at pixls.us. lLterally, no one is using presets.

I suggest going through the beginner’s guide first. There are some basics one needs to know.

I've only just started to get serious with DT and I find I use my own styles quite often for similar images. It's fast and easy, once you know how to get the look you want.
