A Guide to CRT Photography
Adventures in programming, hardware, DSP, and chiptune
Though I've heard that darktable is currently the only scene-referred RAW editor performing most operations in unbounded linear light, rather than a nonlinear display color space with bounded brightness (complicating image processing). Both are nonlinear transformations which clip deep shadows to black and reduce the brightness of highlights, making them look flat and dull unless tweaked; this is necessary for high dynamic range scenes and may be visually appealing, but is less accurate at capturing the appearance of a SDR CRT monitor on a LCD. In this case you'll have to blur the highlights as much as you're comfortable with, then pick between clipping, reducing exposure, enabling dynamic range compression like"filmic rgb" and tuning the settings to look good, or exporting a HDR photograph.
