We’re proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 5.0.0!

The github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-5.0.0.

To build from source, do not use the autogenerated tarball provided by GitHub on the release page, download our tar.xz file instead. If you’re just building for yourself without creating a package for some distribution, then using source code cloning in git is an even more convenient way.

A little over 10 years since darktable 1.0 was first released, the darktable team is proud to present darktable 4.0!

For a complete changelog, please see the release notes. The latest version of the user manual is here. Ukrainian and Polish translations are currently available and we expect to add more over the coming months.

Color and Exposure Mapping

A new “spot mapping” mode has been added to both the exposure and color calibration modules. This mode can be used, for example, to perform white balance (chromatic adaptation) against non-grey objects of known color, or to ensure color and exposure consistency of an object across a series of images. A “sampling” mode allows you to pick a reference color in a source image, recording the output exposure/color after the current exposure and color calibration modules respectively. The “correction” mode then mode computes the relevant exposure and color calibration settings so as to match the color selected from a matching sample picked from the target image. The target can also be manually defined by direct input of the appropriate CIE Lab 1976 color coordinates.

We’re proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 3.8.1!

The darktable team is proud to announce the second feature release of 2021.

Documentation

As is becoming the norm now, all new features are fully documented in the latest version of the user manual. We have also added a new introductory section to act as a guide for new users and those unfamiliar with scene-referred workflow.

While translated documentation was not quite ready in time for darktable 3.6.0, a few completed translations were quietly introduced to the documentation website alongside the 3.6.1 release. The darktable 3.8.0 documentation now includes four translated languages (the first time complete, translated documentation has been made available on the release date), fully integrated into darktable’s help link system. Translated versions of the epub and pdf manuals are also available. Due to the amount of work involved in translating the documentation we will probably provide further updates over the next month so if your language isn’t supported at the moment, please check back in the new year. Please see this page if you want to find out how to contribute your own translations.

The darktable team is proud to announce our second summer feature release, darktable 3.6. Merry (summer) Christmas!

This is the first of two releases this year and, from here on, we intend to issue two new feature releases each year, around the summer and winter solstices.

Documentation

Thanks to countless hours of work of very dedicated contributors, all of the new features are fully documented in time in the user manual, which is now available in epub format along with the existing online and pdf versions. Help links within darktable have been updated to point to the new manual and the old version will now be officially discontinued. The user manual is still English-only for the moment, but translations are in progress (here) and we expect other languages to be available in time for darktable 3.8.

Happy holidays everyone – it’s time for your favourite Christmast gift. This is the second major release of 2020 from the darktable project following the early release of darktable 3.2 in August, and we’ve been busy: between the darktable, rawspeed, and dtdocs repos, there have been more than 5,500 commits in 2020!

Documentation

Photography is a difficult enough endevor and trying to manage your post-processing without documentation can make things even harder! This time, though, the darktable team has been busy getting the user manual ready in time for the release and it is available today at https://www.darktable.org/resources/, and fully up-to-date with the latest version.

We’re proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 3.2.1!

Note that 3.2.0 has been skipped due to last minute bug fixes.

For the first time in its history, darktable breaks its one year release cycle by releasing version 3.2 in August of 2020. The unfortunate state of global health has led to a marked increase in contributions and improvements. On top of that, version 3.4 is still scheduled for Christmas 2020. 2020 will therefore be the first year in which the darktable team will have the pleasure to offer you two major versions. If you need a refresher course on version 3.0 features see the 3.0 article.

Following the tradition, darktable 3.0 has been released for Christmas. After many evolutions in 2018, 2019 has seen many very unexpected changes in darktable, both in its user interface and in its internal mechanisms. This makes darktable 3.0 a more than major version, justifying the direct transition from version 2.6.x to version 3.0.

The announcement and release notes for this new release can be found here: /2019/12/darktable-300-released/.

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.

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.

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).

we’re proud to announce the seventh bugfix release for the 2.0 series of darktable, 2.0.7!

We are happy to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming darktable 1.6.

In case you are wondering about the versioning scheme: we use odd numbers as development versions and even numbers for stable releases. This means the release candidate, tagged as “darktable-1.5.1”, is an unstable development version – the final stable version will bear the tag “darktable-1.6.0”.

Grab the tarball and OS X package from the github release page:

Dear all,

as we want to release darktable 1.6 some time at the end of the year, it now is the time to announce the string freeze. Please don’t change any UI strings any more, so translators have a chance to catch up.

Translators: your updates should be committed to the master branch, there is no branch-off for a stable 1.6 version yet.

We should have the first release candidate packed up soon!

this is just a point release, so not really any new features. detailed release notes are as follows:

• export: consistent names for output formats
• export to disk: overwrite file option
• grain plugin now allows smaller coarseness and will display coarseness values half of what they used to be, this is merely a cosmetic change, your images are unaffected.
• some masks related fixes
• some lua related fixes
• tiff writer (32bit float, little endian output, configurable compression)
• tiff reader
• subtly nicer scrollbar behavior
• theme loading cornercase fixups
• shadow & highlight module improvements (should be less prone to artifacts when used on new images)
• allow importing more than 1 style at a time
• regression was fixed when building darktable against bleeding edge glibc
• Sony A77V enhanced color matrix
• Nikon D5100 updated white balance presets
• Nikon 1 V2 noise profile (and by extension J3/AW1)
• Nikon 1 J1 noise profile (and by extension V1/J2/S1)
• Pentax K3 noise profile
• experimental support for Panasonic DMC-LF1 (we still need samples for the nonstandard aspect ratios)
• experimental support for SONY DSC-RX100M2
• experimental support for SONY NEX-3N
• still no Nikon D5300/D3300 support, we’re still looking into that.

the darktable release plus ppa is being phased out: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus

merry christmas!

we’ve got a new release for you:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.tar.xz/download

since we have quite a lot of new features (masks etc, see below), there is an updated usermanual:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-usermanual.pdf/download

ubuntu packages are already available in the usual place, and there is a new macintosh disk image:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.dmg/download

more detailed release notes:

• darktable now integrates a lua engine that allows writing scripts to make it easier to use with other image processing software. These scripts can be run when a particular event takes place (for example when a new image is imported) or when a particular keyboard shortcut is used. There are very few scripts available at this point but we expect the community to provide some more during the next release cycle.
• darktable now includes several kinds of drawn masks: brush, circle, ellipse, path and gradients
• exporting in WebP format
• serious speed enhancements of lighttable when using large colections
• focus detection on lighttable
• local cached copies of images for offline files
• a few new blend mode like “HSV lightness”, “HSV color”, “Lab lightness” and “Lab color”
• new modules “contrast brightness saturation”, “color balance” and “color mapping” which replaces the now deprecated “color transfer” module
• new histogram mode “waveform”
• added a setting to automatically collapse modules to only have a single one expanded
• better user experience for bauhaus sliders: the popup now has a blinking cursor to make possible text entry more discoverable
• the text entry for bauhaus sliders and vimkeys’ :set command can now evaluate mathematical expressions
• additional logarithmic mode for editing the basecurve
• many bug fixes and small improvements
• a tool for measuring basecurves from a sample image
• a tool to check the system’s color management setup. call cmake with -DBUILD_CMSTEST=On to build and install it. packagers probably want that.
• updated usermanual
• darktable now requires Gtk+ in version >= 2.24, Glib in version >= 2.30

known bugs

• Ricoh Pentax K-3 PEFs aren’t supported yet (DNGs work fine)
• Nikon D5300 isn’t supported yet

hope you have a couple of days off to enjoy the release!

Dear all,

we just released darktable 1.1.2, a point release (so nothing too fancy) with a couple of bugfixes and better camera support. Additionally it comes with an updated usermanual which is available here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.2.pdf/download

The tarball can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.tar.gz/download

and a new disk image for Mac users is provided as well:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.dmg/download

The various packages for your favourite distro are already on their way. The Ubuntu PPA should be updated already for example, and the opensuse package is available from https://software.opensuse.org/package/darktable and will be included in the upcoming opensuse 12.3 thanks to Togan Muftuoglu.

After the progress reported in the latest blog post on the OS X port of darktable we now have something new for the Mac users:

parafin just released an experimental DMG image of darktable!

Please be aware of this being an experimental OS X build as well as experimental software in general – it’s based on the latest development version of darktable that will be darktable 1.1 someday in the future.

It’s our pleasure to announce that darktable-1.0.5 has been released. Find the tarball on sf.net:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.5.tar.gz/download

The Ubuntu PPAs have been built already, you should get them with your next update automatically if you subscribed to Pascal’s PPA.

This has a good chance of being the last one in a series of stable releases (with stuff backported from our latest and greatest). Thanks to Pascal for maintaining it! As such, it comes with a short list of maintenance things as change log:

Pascal was so kind to tend to a stable branch, the next incarnation of which we have the good fortune to announce.

The changes over darktable 1.0.3 are:

• More robust OpenMP compiler detection code

• New warming/cooling filter presets for color correction plugin

• Lighttable thumbnails should be slightly faster and sharper

• Correctly restore panels when using Tab.

• Checking if an export target directly is read-only

• Writing of hierarchical tags in our .xmp has been improved

Pascal de Bruijn did some good work backporting some of the progress from git master to the 1.0 release. We packed that into a tarball, here it is:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.1.tar.gz/download

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.3.tar.gz/download

(We had a problem packaging sources, so 1.0.3 is now on air. Please use it instead of 1.0.1)

As usual we have Ubuntu Packages are readily available on Pascal’s PPA, for Lucid, Natty, Oneiric and Precise:

https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release

https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus

And these are the major changes:

It is done, 1.0 is out. I sent out most of the new features with the announcement for 1.0rc2 a few weeks ago already, but for completeness, here it is again:

Our second release candidate is out! We have had a couple of tiny bugfixes, better translations, new rawspeed (brings support for the new Canon 5D Mark3), and slight consistency fixes in the GUI since rc1.

You can get the tarball from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0~rc2.tar.gz/download

Getting closer!

There are still bug fixes coming, which is good. But nevertheless we just released a release candidate tarball, available for download from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0~rc1.tar.gz/download

which will hopefully help us to get rid of the last couple of remaining bugs before 1.0. For install instructions have a look on how to compile from source.

This is a rough outline of the changes since 0.9.3 (quite sure we forgot something, it’s been > 1000 commits):

As most of you probably noticed by now, we released 0.9.3. The tar file can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/0.9/darktable-0.9.3.tar.gz/download

Pascal updated his ppa for ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release or https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus (with Exiv2 0.22, and Lensfun 0.2.5 + lens data from svn).

and made great new screencasts explaining a couple of features and differences to 0.9.2. You can find them on our resources page or Pascal’s website

It is a comparatively minor update to our stable 0.9.x series. It does not contain many very cool new features and big changes we have in git, because we don’t consider them stable enough yet. Nontheless, it contains 272 commits over the previous release 0.9.2, mainly containing:

we released version 0.9.2, with a few bugfixes on top of release 0.9.1. this is a new point release in the stable branch thus there are no new features, just

• updated translations
• tiling for memory hungry operations and as workaround for old opencl 1.0 drivers
• new color matrices and white balance presets
• a lot of stability issues have been resolved
• a lot of performance improvements (more sse code, better opencl code)

new packages are available, check the installation instructions for more infos!

we released version 0.9.1, with a few bugfixes on top of release 0.9. and 184 patches, among them

• new rawspeed, dcraw, libraw
• fixed various segfaults and deadlocks
• the pipeline is now more real HDR (unbounded color management, no more gamut clipping in between)
• fixed a nasty bug which could cause complete loss of history for an image
• darktable-faster now plays nicely with darktablerc (non-gconf)
• lots of opencl improvements
• updated translations
• second part of our GSoC: customizable keyboard shortcuts!

check the installation instructions for more infos!

we released version 0.9, with many new features:

• run-time switchable opencl to exploit all the power of your GPU whenever you decide to install the driver
• many new modules, including a spot removal tool, better denoising (on raw pixels and non-local means) and many more
• blend operations, overlay your module only 20 percent if you want
• spot removal tool
• low light vision tool
• non-local-means denoising (relatively fast for nlmeans, but still slow)
• first part of the google summer of code project already merged
• framing module (adds postcard borders to match given aspect ratio)
• tonemapping a lot faster now (probably the fastest high-dimensional bilateral filter available today)
• changed images come with the darktable|changed tag

more updates to the page/install instructions to come, but you should be good by just extracting the tarball and typing ./build.sh. enjoy! and thanks to all our many contributors!

we released version 0.8, which obsoletes 0.7.1 in a lot of ways:

• much faster image loading due to rawspeed, an awesome new library by klaus post @rawstudio
• lots of performance improvements in our caches and pixel pipelines (together with the above like 5x–10x)
• gpu computing using opencl (for graphics boards that support it) for a lot of common modules, to give a huge performance boost
• overhauled collection module for more flexible image collections
• metadata editor (set author and copyright information etc)
• fast demosaicing now done on roi and in floating point
• HDR bracketing and tone mapping (somewhat experimental)
• flickr upload
• new languages: thai and japanese
• lots of new color matrices and white balance presets
• lots of bugfixes

according to the git log, this release introduces over 900 new commits brought to you by (in order of commits): johannes hanika, Tobias Ellinghaus, Henrik Andersson, Pascal de Bruijn, Ger Siemerink, Bruce Guenter, Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo, Boucman, Alexandre Prokoudine, Simon Spannagel, Olivier, Jochen, Karl Mikaelsson, Jochen Schroeder, Brian Teague, Pascal Obry, calca, Ville Pätsi, Uli Scholler, Thierry Leconte, Pacsal de Bruijn, and Alex Chateau. special thanks to Pacsal ;) and to Robert Park for an awesome amount of color matrices created with his help, also for Klaus Staedtler for the new icons.

we released version 0.7.1, a small bugfix release to fix up some nuisances in 0.7:

• some more white balance presets
• layout fixes for overlong profile names
• styles now actually work
• extensive documentation in form of screencasts

enjoy the release, but be aware that you’ll be missing out on a lot of significant speed improvements and cool new features when using the release instead of git :)

we released version 0.7 this weekend. some of the changes:

• .xmp is now used instead of .dt for sidecars
• libraw with dcraw 9.05
• plug-ins of darkroom mode are now in groups/tabs
• new darkroom plug-ins: zone system, relight, graduated neutral density, watermark
• changes can now be saved into named processing styles
• initial preferences dialog was added
• custom shooting settings can be added in tethering mode
• initial user manual was written, available in english, german, french, dutch, and swedish
• moved to xdg config file standard
• languages: ca cs de es fi fr gl it nl pl ru sq sv
• reset labels: double click the label to only reset this option, not the whole plug-in
• a cropped image can now be recropped without resetting the whole plug-in (press backspace)
• lots of new cameras with enhanced support (input profiles and base curves)
• recursive image import
• 962 commits since release-0.6 :)

again thanks for the great support from all our contributors (see about dialog, press on darktable version number in gui), and stay tuned for 0.8 to come soon, with a lot more features!

finally a new release … it has been so long that i hardly remember all the changes. let’s try to list the most important ones:

• libraw 0.10.0-beta3
• tethered shooting mode
• import from camera via gphoto2
• new, improved modules: vignetting, velvia, grain, denoise (via bilateral filter), color transfer, channel mixer …
• crop/rotate: straighten tool, perspective correction, guide lines (ported from digikam)
• lots of new input color matrices and base curves
• openexr export
• database format changed, which greatly improves speed (and cuts down used disk memory)
• film strip view in darkroom mode for quick image switching
• cool alternative demosaicing algorithms (ported from rawtherapee): dcb, amaze, vcd, c/a autocorrection
• customizable preset system for all darkroom modules with auto application to matching images, selected by exif
• reworked export system to modularly support export to picasa webalbum, email, or disk in jpg, png, 8/16-tiff, pfm, exr, or 16-ppm.
• lots of performance enhancements (modules denoise and local contrast are still slow)
• translations: de es fi fr gl nl ru sv

as always, the release comes with a warning: it will be outdated horribly in very short time (even now git master has some really cool new features over the release tarball …). thanks to all contributors, translators, and everyone on #darktable!

features, features, features ;)

• image tagging
• flexible database queries by exif and custom tags
• powerful color zones plug-in, to selectively alter only some colors
• french translation
• libraw 0.8.5
• new light table mode layout: file manager
• inotify support
• tiff 8-bit and 16-bit export
• new, more powerful widgets to replace sliders and spin buttons (derived from libphat)
• reworked, fully color managed processing pipeline
• supplied some useful base curves
• image cache can now enforce a strict memory limit
• snapshots: side-by-side comparisons in darkroom mode
• fixed aspect ratio and horizontal/vertical flipping in crop module
• spot auto exposure
• highlight reconstruction
• white balance presets with fine-tuning (from ufraw)
• … countless small improvements

as usual, the new release comes with lots of new features:

• lens defect correction (lensfun)
• internationalization (russian and swedish translation)
• backup files for image editing history and tagging (.dt and .dttags) apart from database
• gconf preferences handling
• lighttable mode modules
• libraw 0.8.4 and low-level option interface from dt
• color filter-based monochrome conversion
• dt now reads _ICC_PROFILE atom from X server
• more sophisticated white balance
• core database layout prepared for tagging system (to come in 0.5)
• lots of bugfixes
• lots of gui tweaks and presets

there have been some major internal changes in dt since 0.2, and some of them result in cool new features for the user, so it is time to pass it on to the non-git audience. this includes:

• most processing is now being done in a new color space (L a/L b/L). this results in nicer exposure/tonecurve/denoise/color correction results.
• the pixel pipeline is now free to change dimensions of the image, which makes a crop/rotate operation (and lensfun in the future) possible.
• the code is now organised as modules (image operations and views such as lighttable and darkroom).
• the lighttable view can filter and sort by rating.
• color management using lcms.
