A long time ago there was a post about why we don’t have a Windows port. While I still stand by what I wrote six years ago, the times they are a-changin'.

Then two years ago there was yet another post regarding Windows. The gist of it was that the real blocker for a Windows release isn’t so much a technical one but the lack of a person (or several) dedicated to maintaining it. Not just for the moment until all the patches got merged but for the foreseeable future.

we’re proud to announce the fourth release candidate of darktable 2.2.0, with some fixes over the previous release candidate.

the github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-2.2.0rc3.

as always, please don’t use the tarball autogenerated by github, but only our .tar.xz with the following sha256sum:

the changelog vs. the stable 2.0.x series is below:

• Well over 2k commits since 2.0.0

The Big Ones:

• Add new automatic perspective correction module (" A new module for automatic perspective correction ")
• Liquify tool for all your fancy pixel moving (" Liquify, liquify? ")
• A new image module to use a Color Look Up Table (CLUT) to change colors in the image (" colour manipulation with the colour checker lut module ")
• In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was completely rewritten, and is no longer useless!
• A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the latter
• Exposure fusion in the basecurve module to lower the dynamic range of images (" compressing dynamic range with exposure fusion ")
• Add new raw overexposure indication (" Visualizing the raw (sensor) highlight clipping ")
• Darkroom: the preview (in top-left corner) is now no longer pre-demosaiced (but just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time), thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results, especially when there is highlight clipping.

Quite Interesting Changes:

• Split the database into a library containing images and a general one with styles, presets and tags. That allows having access to those when for example running with a :memory: library
• Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently ARM64 only) (" Running on non-x86 platforms ")
• darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes (no less than 256Kb). That should allow using musl libc
• Allow darktable-cli to work on directories
• Allow to import/export tags from Lightroom keyword files
• Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl – x0.1; Shift – x10
• Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
• Support presets in “more modules” so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
• Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
• Add basic undo/redo support for the darkroom (masks are not accounted !)
• Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
• Input color profile module, when profile is just matrix (and linear curve), is 1/3 faster now.
• Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
• Nicer web gallery exporter – now touch friendly!
• OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
• OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
• Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
• OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
• darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don’t need it.
• Hotpixels module: make it actually work for X-Trans
• Cmstest tool should now produce correct output in more cases, especially in multi-monitor setups.
• Darkroom histogram now uses more bins: use all 8-bit of the output, not just 6.

Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:

• Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
• Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
• When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
• Hint via window manager when import/export is done
• Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
• The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
• Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
• Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks (shift+click)
• Add geolocation to watermark variables
• Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
• Support greyscale color profiles
• Make sure that proper signal handlers are still set after GM initialization…
• OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
• Attach Xmp data to EXR files
• Several fixes for HighDPI displays
• Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
• Feathering size in some mask shapes can be set with shift+scroll
• Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
• The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series
• Tone curve: mode “automatic in XYZ” mode for “scale chroma”
• Some compilation fixes

Lua specific changes:

• All asynchronous calls have been rewritten
• The darktable-specific implementation of yield was removed
• darktable.control.execute allows to execute some shell commands without blocking Lua
• darktable.control.read allows to wait for a file to be readable without blocking Lua
• darktable.control.sleep allows to pause the Lua execution without blocking other Lua threads
• darktable.gui.libs.metadata_view.register_info allows to add new field to the metadata widget in the darkroom view
• The TextView widget can now be created in Lua, allowing input of large chunks of text
• It is now possible to use a custom widget in the Lua preference window to configure a preference
• It is now possible to set the precision and step on slider widgets

Changed Dependencies:

• CMake 3.0 is now required.
• In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
• Drop support for OS X 10.6
• Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
• Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even debian stable has it)
• Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
• Port to OpenJPEG2
• SDL is no longer needed.

We were unable to bring back these 2 cameras, because we have no samples.

we’re proud to announce the third release candidate of darktable 2.2.0, with some fixes over the previous release candidate.

the github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-2.2.0rc2.

as always, please don’t use the tarball autogenerated by github, but only our .tar.xz with the following sha256sum:

f3ed739f79858a1ce2b3746bbab11994f5fb38db6e96941d84ba475beab890a6  darktable-2.2.0.rc2.tar.xz
5d91cfd1622fb82e8f59db912e8b784a36b83f4a06d179e906f437104edc96f1  darktable-2.2.0.rc2.39.g684e8af41.dmg

the changelog vs. the stable 2.0.x series is below:

• Well over 2k commits since 2.0.0

The Big Ones:

• Add new automatic perspective correction module (" A new module for automatic perspective correction ")
• Liquify tool for all your fancy pixel moving (" Liquify, liquify? ")
• A new image module to use a Color Look Up Table (CLUT) to change colors in the image (" colour manipulation with the colour checker lut module ")
• In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was completely rewritten, and is no longer useless!
• A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the latter
• Exposure fusion in the basecurve module to lower the dynamic range of images (" compressing dynamic range with exposure fusion ")
• Add new raw overexposure indication (" Visualizing the raw (sensor) highlight clipping ")
• Darkroom: the preview (in top-left corner) is now no longer pre-demosaiced (but just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time), thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results, especially when there is highlight clipping.

Quite Interesting Changes:

• Split the database into a library containing images and a general one with styles, presets and tags. That allows having access to those when for example running with a :memory: library
• Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently ARM64 only) (" Running on non-x86 platforms ")
• darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes (no less than 256Kb). That should allow using musl libc
• Allow darktable-cli to work on directories
• Allow to import/export tags from Lightroom keyword files
• Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl – x0.1; Shift – x10
• Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
• Support presets in “more modules” so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
• Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
• Add basic undo/redo support for the darkroom (masks are not accounted !)
• Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
• Input color profile module, when profile is just matrix (and linear curve), is 1/3 faster now.
• Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
• Nicer web gallery exporter – now touch friendly!
• OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
• OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
• Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
• OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
• darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don’t need it.
• Hotpixels module: make it actually work for X-Trans
• Cmstest tool should now produce correct output in more cases, especially in multi-monitor setups.
• Darkroom histogram now uses more bins: use all 8-bit of the output, not just 6.

Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:

• Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
• Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
• When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
• Hint via window manager when import/export is done
• Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
• The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
• Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
• Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks (shift+click)
• Add geolocation to watermark variables
• Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
• Support greyscale color profiles
• Make sure that proper signal handlers are still set after GM initialization…
• OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
• Attach Xmp data to EXR files
• Several fixes for HighDPI displays
• Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
• Feathering size in some mask shapes can be set with shift+scroll
• Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
• The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series
• Tone curve: mode “automatic in XYZ” mode for “scale chroma”
• Some compilation fixes

Lua specific changes:

• All asynchronous calls have been rewritten
• The darktable-specific implementation of yield was removed
• darktable.control.execute allows to execute some shell commands without blocking Lua
• darktable.control.read allows to wait for a file to be readable without blocking Lua
• darktable.control.sleep allows to pause the Lua execution without blocking other Lua threads
• darktable.gui.libs.metadata_view.register_info allows to add new field to the metadata widget in the darkroom view
• The TextView widget can now be created in Lua, allowing input of large chunks of text
• It is now possible to use a custom widget in the Lua preference window to configure a preference
• It is now possible to set the precision and step on slider widgets

Changed Dependencies:

• CMake 3.0 is now required.
• In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
• Drop support for OS X 10.6
• Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
• Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even Debian stable has it)
• Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
• Port to OpenJPEG2
• SDL is no longer needed.

We were unable to bring back these 3 cameras, because we have no samples.

This is a call for all our translators, now is the time to bring your .po file in the master branch up to date. We will not ship any translation that is not relatively complete, the exact threshold is still to be determined.

As a quick reminder, these are the steps to update the translation if you are working from git. language_code is not the whole filename of the po file but just the first part of it. For example, when for Italian the language code is it while the filename is it.po. You also have to compile darktable before updating your .po file as some of the translated files are auto-generated.

we’re proud to announce the second release candidate of darktable 2.2.0, with some fixes over the previous release candidate. the most important one might be bringing back read support for very old xmp files (~4 years).

A special note to all the darktable Fedora users: Fedora-provided darktable packages are intentionally built with Lua disabled. Thus, Lua scripting will not work. This breaks e.g. darktable-gimp integration. Please bug Fedora. In the mean time you could fix that by self-compiling darktable (pass -DDONT_USE_INTERNAL_LUA=OFF to cmake in order to enable use of bundled Lua5.2.4).

For many years darktable would only run on x86 CPUs that also support at least SSE2. While that is nowadays almost everything looking like a PC it’s still limiting. Consequently Roman sat down and started work on dropping that hard requirement. While his work isn’t complete yet it’s definitely becoming useful. So with a little tweaking you can for example use the development versions on an ARM, like the Raspberry Pi. Together with a touchscreen that has the potential to make a fun little package.

Today we are happy to announce a big new feature that we will not only ship with the big 2.0 release later this year but also with our next point release, 1.6.4, which is due in about a week: even more darkroom modules!

One of the big strengths of darktable has always been its varied selection of modules to tweak your image. However, that has also been one of the main points of criticism: too much, too many and too complicated to grasp. To make it easier for the user to deal with the flood of tools darktable has had the “more modules” list since many years. It changed its appearance a few times, we added module categories, allowed to select favorite modules, and all of that has proven to be useful. Thus there have always been people that approached us with great new ideas for new modules, especially since we moved to GitHub a while ago with its powerful Pull Request system, yet we couldn’t accept many of them. Some were not that great codewise, some didn’t really fit our product vision – and then there were some that looked nice and certainly benefited some users, but we felt it wasn’t generic enough to justify polluting our module list even more. Of course this was a bad situation, after all these people invested quite some time into providing us with a new feature that we turned down. No one likes to waste their time.

We are happy to announce that darktable 1.6.3 has been released.

darktable 1.4.2 Release Notes

• A lot of cleanup was done to allow larger images to be handled by darktable without crashing as often

Yes, it’s this time of the year again. The annual Libre Graphics Meeting is getting closer, and we, that is the whole developer community of your favorite free graphics applications, would like to ask you for your help. Some of you might remember our call for sponsoring from last year. Back then we asked for donations for specific people – a task that didn’t work out that well in the end. So this year we would just like to ask you for a small donation to the general funding campaign instead. This money is only being used to pay the travel expenses of developers and contributors of free graphics projects. Like us. You can see an incomplete list here.

Figure 1: the gradient test image – download and play with it in darktable

People using image editors or similar (raster) graphics editors are probably familiar with histograms. You also have them in almost all digital cameras. In darktable you can find it very prominently in the top right corner of darkroom mode, but also as a backdrop of modules like levels, tonecurve and similar.

From a mathematical point of view they are a diagram displaying the amount of pixels in the image that have a specific colour, lightness, value or similar measure. The horizontal axis represents the brightness while the vertical axis corresponds to the amount of pixels that have that brightness.

Hello everyone,

today we have a request to you, the users of darktable.

As you might know there is an annual meeting of developers and users of free and open source graphics applications (like GIMP, Inkscape, blender, scribus, and also darktable), the Libre Graphics Meeting. This year it’s held in Madrid, Spain, and it’s a great opportunity to discuss things with other developers face-to-face. Last year this has brought us native colord support in darktable.

For quite some time people have asked us for a way to geotag their images from within darktable. While that is a nifty feature for sure and really helpful when you take pictures outside of a studio we always had to say something along the lines of “sorry, we don’t have that yet”. Some day however Henrik decided to give it a try and started work in his geo branch. Things started to come together nicely and everything looked really promising, but unfortunately he was a little short in free time so the progress stalled and the code started to bitrot. Since it would be a pity to throw away all the great work Henrik did I kind of adopted the branch and set sails to add the missing bits and pieces to make geotagging a new feature of darktable.

People following the development of darktable might have heard that we added a grouping feature. Everyone who hasn’t heard of that yet: We added a grouping feature.

Now that everybody knows about it I should try to explain what it actually is and how it works/how to use it. For the technical specification you can have a look at the design specs.

The first change in the GUI that can be noticed is a little ‘G’ button. Well, first of all we have to notice that there are two kinds of ‘G’ in the GUI: one in the top toolbar, next to the preferences wheel. The other kind is on images frames which are part of a group, next to the yin-yang-edited symbol.

Recent builds from git will bring you a new executable, “darktable-cli”. With this tool you can export images using the processing power of darktable on the command line.

The simplest way to call the utility is

darktable-cli <input> <output>

This will take the input image, look for the XMP file associated with it, process it at maximal resolution and write the output to output, trying to guess the output format from the output filename. You can also explicitly give a XMP file by running

For quite some time darktable supports tethering your camera. What was missing all the time was live view. This is about to change though. If you use master (and have a camera supporting it) you can now either use the eye button in the “camera settings” module or hit ‘v’ on your keyboard to start live view from within tethering mode. Since the preview is scaled to fit your screen it might be a good idea to hide some of the side panels. If you are using a Canon EOS (I only tested this with my 40D) you can also use your middle mouse button to zoom into the preview. Another click brings you back to regular live view.

The last time I posted to this blog it was my April Fool’s Joke about a file manager (which happened to be just an embedded shell). Since a few people didn’t like that at all I want to assure you that this is no joke at all. However, if you are a Windows user and feel easily offended, then stop reading now.

Still here? Great. I managed to compile darktable for Windows.

Whoever has followed the mailing lists or IRC has seen remarks that darktable lacks a feature complete file manager. Currently we only have a button which lets the user delete files from disk, but there is no way to move them, copy them, rename them, … Every time someone has shown up to suggest something beyond that we made clear that “darktable is not a file manager”. We even have a FAQ entry about that.

“Why does darktable need a blog?” you might ask. The answer is quite simple: While we do have a mailing list (actually there are three) which is quite active, most decisions and background informations happen in IRC (#darktable on FreeNode). This is great for fast communications, but it doesn’t allow interested users to follow what we actually (want to) do.

I hope that this blog will be an annotated commit log on the one hand showing the progress we make and a persistent archive of important decisions taken by us on the other hand.

Every now and then the question arises why we don’t have a button in darktable to open the current image in GIMP. Everytime I answer more or less the same.

The arguments of those requesting the button are along the line of “$PROGRAM has it, so it shouldn’t be hard to do” and “I really need to do some small retouching, so it would save me lots of time”.

Well, to understand why we don’t have it I have to stress two features of darktable. First of all, every action is done non-destructive. What that means is that you never edit the actual data in your raw file, but “record” a list of actions (the history in darkroom mode and the XMP files) which shall be executed to get the final image. This list can be changed afterwards without negative side effects since those actions can just be recomputed. The second nice thing in darktable is that we work with high bit depths (32 bit floating point) to get the best possible result.
