Can you explain that? In digikam I almost always get sharp bends which I think 
does not make sense. And moving the points around never gives me what I 
wanted, in terms of how I would like the curve to look like. I would like to 
be able to move some region of the curve up, as easy as it works in darktable.

I can supply some screenshots in order to show what I mean by "moving points 
never gives me what I want".

So even if not the darktable way, I think that there is a need for improving 
the handling of curves in digikam. Darktable might be too simple, but it would 
be a good start in terms of ease. Adding complexity of usage can always be 
done.

Ah – and btw. which curve is the darktable's base-curve in digikam's RAW 
module?
