  • Almost 3 thousand commits to darktable+rawspeed since 2.6
  • 553 pull requests handled
  • 66 issues closed
  • Updated user manual is coming soon™

The Big Ones

  • A full rework of the GUI. The whole GUI is now fully
    controlled by GTK+ CSS rules. There is
    no more size, color, position in Gtk C code, which makes the whole GUI themable. This version comes
    with several themes:

    • darktable : the default theme

    • darktable-elegant-darker : more condensed fonts
      best experience with Roboto font installed

    • darktable-icons-darker : as elegant, with module icons
      best experience with Roboto font installed

    • darktable-elegant-dark : lighter version

    • darktable-elegant-grey : even lighter version

    • darktable-icons-dark : lighter version. with module icons

    • darktable-icons-grey : even lighter version, with module icons

    New shortcuts have been introduced to quickly collapse borders, sidebars, histogram and
    navigation modules, allowing a new borderless editing experience.

    Note that the new GUI requires Gtk+ 3.22 or higher to work properly.

  • It's now possible to associate dynamic key shortcuts to sliders, then
    use them with the mouse wheel or arrow keys to move the value up and down.
    For example, associating the E key to the exposure slider, you can press
    it and scroll to increase the exposure without having to open the module.
    You get fast heads-up access to all your favorite settings, as if you
    were using a dedicated multimedia console.

  • The color picker on the 'tone curve', 'color zones' and 'fill light' modules,
    as well as the parametric mask controls, now allows you to select an
    area when enabled by using Ctrl+click on the button.

  • Added undo/redo support in lighttable for tags, color labels, ratings,
    metadata, deleted history stack, pasted history stack and applied
    styles.

    IMPORTANT:
    The 'preview' and 'preview with focus detection' actions
    (previously Z and Ctrl+Z respectively) are now assigned to
    W and Ctrl+W in order to follow the convention of
    using Ctrl+Z for the "undo" function (Ctrl+Y for redo).

  • A new timeline view has been introduced in the lighttable.

  • A new 'culling' mode has been added to the lightable view. It
    displays a fixed number of consecutive images starting from the first
    selected, and allows you to pan & zoom them. The number of displayed images
    can be set by the user, and they can be navigated with the mouse wheel
    and keyboard.

  • A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable view (including the filmstrip in darkroom view)
    has been made to greatly improve the overall performance. The lighttable is now
    usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

  • Added support for the new 'raster mask', a copy of a parametric mask
    which is stable during the whole pixel-pipe.

  • The processing order of the pixel-pipe can now be changed by using
    Ctrl+Shift+drag on the module headers to arrange them relative
    to each other. It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that this feature is NOT
    for creating a more convenient GUI layout, but for changing the actual
    processing of the image. DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE unless you understand the
    reason behind the default ordering, and have a specific reason for changing it.
    The default order is still the correct order for most purposes.

  • The 'color zones' module now shows a histogram based on the chosen ‘select
    by’ channel, and if the color picker is in 'select area' mode, the range within
    the selected area will also be shown. By default, the spline adjustment is
    now similar to the curve controls, allowing you to add and delete nodes, but
    these nodes can still be moved with the old-style size control by selecting
    the 'edit by area' checkbox. There is also a new 'strong' processing option,
    and a new color picker which creates a curve based on selected image area.

  • A new module 'filmic RGB' which, like the previous 'filmic', is designed
    to replace 'base curve', 'shadows and highlights' and other global tone-mapping modules.
    This new version replaces the one introduced in 2.6.2; it should be easier to use,
    and it will reduce color casts. The old 'filmic' module is now deprecated and
    is only available on images where it was already used for editing.

  • A new module 'tone equalizer' is designed to merge the features of 'zone system',
    'shadows and highlights', and (local) 'tone mapping' modules in a scene-referred
    RGB space. It brings an easy and safe way to remap tones locally, performing a quick
    zone-based dodging and burning using Ansel Adam's zone system logic.
    The module provides an interface similar to audio graphic equalizers,
    with 9 bands (available as fixed sliders or nodes on a spline view),
    allowing you to selectively push or pull the exposure for each band in the
    range from blacks to specular highlights. It also features an interactive
    cursor that allows to push or pull the exposure gains directly from
    the image preview by simply hovering over an area and scrolling. It uses a guided filter
    internally to refine the dodging and burning mask, which preserves local contrast
    without producing halos along edges.

New Features And Changes

  • A new module for handling 3D RGB Lut transformations (PNG Hald-CLUT and
    Cube files are supported).

  • Many improvements to the 'denoise (profiled)' module. The degree of shadow
    denoising can be controlled, including the correction of color casts
    (mainly improves high-ISO images). "Auto" modes which infer some parameters
    from the profile are available, allowing users to create presets
    which are adaptive to various ISO values. The default values of the sliders
    are also adapted dynamically on module activation, giving a good trade-off
    between noise smoothing and detail preservation. The non-local means mode
    has 2 new options: one to coarse-grain denoising, and one to control the
    amount of fine detail to preserve. The controls now have soft boundaries,
    which means that users can use the keyboard to enter values outside the
    range of the sliders if they need to.

  • Along with selecting the 'soft proof' color profile, users can now select an
    additional profile for the color space of the histogram, color picker and
    overexposed checker. When gamut or softproof checks are active the histogram
    and color picker use the softproof profile, otherwise they use the new
    histogram profile (which is always used for overexposure checking).

  • A new setting for 'working profile' has been added to the input color profile
    module. This color space will be used by RGB modules between the input and
    output color profile modules.

  • A new color picker has been added to the parametric masking controls which
    adjusts the range sliders based on the selected area from the image. Click the
    picker button to adjust the input image slider, Ctrl+click the
    button to adjust the output image slider.

  • The 'picasa' target storage in the export module has been completely rewritten
    to support the new Google Photo API, and renamed 'google photos'. It is again
    possible to create albums directly from the export module.

  • A new single-line image information display can be positioned at the top (left, right,
    or center) or bottom (center) of the darkroom view to replace the information previously
    overlaid on the histogram. The specific information shown can be configured in preferences.

  • The 'tagging' module is faster, and can now display hierarchical tags in a
    tree view. Tags can now be designated as 'private' (not exported by default),
    'synonym' (to help search engines), and 'category' (not exported, for organizing
    the tag library). The metadata exported with images can now be configured in the
    'export selected' module, allowing you to choose which main types are exported,
    as well as define values for specific tags based on formulas.

  • Many code optimizations for CPU and SSE paths. The tone equalizer module
    introduces a new optimization paradigm (GCC target clones), aimed toward users
    of pre-built Linux packages. The image-processing code will be cloned for several
    CPU generations (SSE2, SSE3, SSE4...

  • Almost 3 thousand commits to darktable+rawspeed since 2.6
  • 553 pull requests handled
  • 66 issues closed
  • Updated user manual is coming soon™

The Big Ones

  • A full rework of the GUI Gtk/CSS. The whole GUI is now fully
    controlled by CSS rules. There is no more size, color, position in
    Gtk C code. This makes the whole GUI themable. This version comes
    with different theme:

    • darktable : the default theme

    • darktable-elegant-darker : more condensed fonts
      best experience if Roboto font installed

    • darktable-icons-darker : as elegant, with IOP icons
      best experience if Roboto font installed

    • darktable-elegant-dark : lighter version

    • darktable-elegant-grey : even lighter version

    • darktable-icons-dark : lighter version

    • darktable-icons-grey : even lighter version

    Note that this requires Gtk 3.22 or higher to work properly.

  • The color picker on the blend, tone curve, color zones and fill
    light modules now allows to select an area by Ctrl+click on it.

  • Add undo/redo support in lighttable for tags, color labels, rating,
    metadata, deleted history stack, pasted history stack and applied
    style.

    IMPORTANT:
    As Ctrl-z is commonly used for undo/redo this is what is used
    on the lighttable. This conflicts with the previous Ctrl-z which
    was assigned to preview with focus point. The preview (previously z)
    and preview with focus detection (previously Ctrl-z) are now assigned
    respectively to w and Ctrl-w.

  • A new timeline view has been introduced in the lighttable.

  • A new lighttable mode 'culling' is added. It displays a fixed number
    of consecutive images, starting from the first selected image and
    allows to pan & zoom them. It can be navigated with the mouse wheel
    and keyboard and the number of displayed images can be set with an
    entry at the bottom.

  • A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable has been made to improve
    drastically the overall performance. This also includes the
    filmstrip which has also received a big rewrite for the same reasons. The
    lighttable is now usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

  • Add new raster mask supports. This is a copy of a parametric mask
    which is stable during the whole pixel-pipe.

  • Modules can now be re-ordered with Ctrl+Shift+drag.

    IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

    Note that this is NOT a GUI re-ordering but a pixel-pipe
    reordering. If you're not familiar with pixel pipe order and the
    actual quality that could result from changing the default, do not
    change the order.

    The default order has been set to give the best result in the
    majority of time and will never be on the wrong side.

  • The color zones module now display an histogram based on the ‘select
    by’ channel and displays the selected range if the color picker is
    in area mode.
    It acts now like the tone curve (but horizontal),
    it has two edit modes: edit by area is the former one, if not checked nodes
    can be edited like in the tone curve, delete only works by right-click
    when not in edit area mode.
    A new process mode has been added: smooth is the former one, strong is new.
    An interpolation method has been added that allows to select different types
    of curves.
    The color picker allows to select by area with Ctrl+click.
    A new color picker has been added that creates a curve based on the area
    selected from the image.
    When pressing the shortcut 'pan&zoom while editing masks' the draw area
    can now be zoomed. Double-click on the bottom bar resets the zoom.

  • New module Filmic RBG. This module is designed to replace the base
    curve, shadows and highlights. The new filmic rgb module replaces
    the old one introduced in 2.6.2 and should be easier to use and will
    reduce color casts. The old filmic module is now deprecated and
    cannot be used on new developments.

  • New module tone equalizer which brings an easy and safe way to
    adjust the tones in different areas of the image. The module comes
    with 9 controls ranging from blacks area to specular ones. It
    possible to adjust each area with slides, curve or directly over the
    image with a controllable picker.

New Features And Changes

  • A new module for handling 3D Lut transformations (PNG Hald-CLUT and
    Cube files are supported).

  • Many changes to denoise profiled. The variance stabilization transform
    has changed, allowing a finer control of denoising. In particular,
    it is possible to better denoise the shadows, and correct color casts
    that may occur in the shadows. This change mainly improves the denoising
    of high ISO images.
    The non-local means mode has 2 new options: an option to scatter
    the search zone, and an option to control the amount of details to keep.
    In addition, one "auto" mode was added both for wavelets and non-local
    means. This mode infers some parameters from the profile used.
    The default values of the sliders are also changed dynamically in the same
    way. As such, user who want a one click denoising can activate the module
    and get straight away a good trade-off between noise smoothing and detail
    preservation.
    The auto modes allow the user to create their own presets that will
    adapt to various ISOs.
    Finally denoise profiled controls now have soft boundaries, which means
    that users can enter values out of visible bounds using the keyboard if
    they need to.

  • A new profile ‘histogram profile’ has been added on the same pop-up
    that the softproof one on the darkroom. It controls the color space
    of the histogram, color picker and overexposed check. When gamut or
    softproof checks are active the histogram and color picker use the
    softproof profile, otherwise they use the histogram profile. The
    overexposed check always use the histogram profile.

  • A new profile 'work profile' has been added to the input color profile
    module. Now RGB modules between the input and output color profile modules
    will work with this profile.

  • A new color picker has been added to the blend module next to the
    existing one that adjusts the range sliders based on the selected
    area from the image. Click to adjust the input image slider,
    Ctrl+click to adjust the out image one.

  • The picasa module has been renamed to googlephoto and completely
    rewrote to support the new Google Photo API. It is now again
    possible to create albums directly from the export module.

  • New module image information which can be positioned at the bottom
    or the top of the darkroom. The information displayed can be changed
    via the preferences. This module can replace the image information
    displayed on the histogram.

  • The tagging module is faster than before and has got new features.
    The most visible one is the ability to display hierarchical tags in a
    tree view. New commands (context menu) have been added to help to maintain
    your tags dictionary.
    It introduces also the notions of private tags (not exported by default),
    synonyms (to help search engines) and categories (not exported,
    can be used as an helper to structure your tags without polluting them and/or
    to define metadata fitting with your needs).
    In line with these new features, exported metadata are now configured
    in export selected module.
    The main metadata types can be set as exported or not,
