| # choosing a workflow | ||

| When processing an image, a sequence of processing modules is applied. This sequence is known as the [pixelpipe](../../darkroom/pixelpipe/_index.md). | ||
| When processing an image, the order in which you make adjustments to modules is not necessarily the same as the order in which the modules appear in the pixel pipe. The following diagram shows key modulesin the pixel pipe that are typically involved in basic processing of an image, and underneath are numbers showing the order in which you would normally adjust those modules. |

It's an awkward sentence; I tried to rephrase.

@matt-maguire you have a typo:

that typo was removed when I reworded the sentence.
- implement wpferguson feedback - add info about exposure compensation - spellcheck

| Two default workflows are offered in darktable, which define the default starting point for your edits: | ||
| 3. The [**_crop and rotate_**](../../../module-reference/processing-modules/crop-rotate.md) module can now be used to straighten the image and frame it correctly. You may also want to use the [_perspective correction_](../../module-reference/processing-modules/perspective-correction.md) module to apply some keystone correction so that vertical and horizontal features in the images are properly aligned. This is the digital equivalent of using a tilt-shift lens, which is commonly used when shooting images of architecture. |

crop and rotate is deprecated and perspective correction has been renamed to rotate and perspective

| A third option is to set the default workflow to _none_. In this case, the scene-referred workflow module order will be used by default but none of the above modules will be automatically applied. It is up to the user to arrange for appropriate tone mapping and reorder the modules where required. You can change your default workflow in [preferences > processing > auto-apply pixel workflow defaults](../../preferences-settings/processing.md). | ||
| 5. The [**_filmic rgb_**](../../module-reference/processing-modules/filmic-rgb.md) module is now used to do a global tone mapping on the image, where we fix up the shadows and highlights in the image. First we set the white relative exposure (the auto picker next to the slider can be helpful if your image contains pure white regions). Adjust the black relative exposure if the blacks are too washed out or too crushed (it is best to do this manually, as the black auto picker can be sensitive to noise and unreliable). The _filmic rgb_ module will set the overall tone mapping for the image; to make finer adjustments to specific areas of the image, we recommend to use the [_tone equalizer_](../../module-reference/processing-modules/tone-equalizer.md) module. |

Perhaps drop "and unreliable"? The black picker is definitely sensitive to noise.
| : Used to add light to a scene, this module again uses blurs in Lab space. The _tone equalizer_ works in linear space, or you can also achieve a similar effect by using the _exposure_ module with a [drawn mask](../../darkroom/masking-and-blending/masks/drawn.md). | ||
|
|
||
| [_bloom_](../../module-reference/processing-modules/bloom.md) | ||
| : _prefer [tone equalizer](../../module-reference/processing-modules/tone-equalizer.md) (or [exposure](../../module-reference/processing-modules/exposure.md))_ |

diffuse or sharpen has a bloom preset.

I think this whole PR is essentially superseded by #349 now and should be closed. |

Now that scene-referred workflow is the darktable default, this PR proposes to simplify the workflow overview section, and align it to the new modules available in DT 3.6/3.7. Detailed/technical non-recommended module information has been pushed to an appendix.
