#darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer for #Linux, #MacOS and #Windows.
Self-portrait, Before/After, of a full beauty edit performed on #darktable 3.4.
See (in French) the editing process by Minh-Ly, the model in the picture, guided by her husband, a darktable's developer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH1gRQ3Und0
The next-gen WIP documentation for darktable has been moved here : https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/
darktable is now in feature-freeze state for version 3.4 planned for Christmas day. Translators can now take over (for supported languages, see https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/po/LINGUAS - only German and French have 99% complete translations).
It has been a truly crazy month. So much work… Stay tuned for more news.
@eylul I know you have many original workflows I have never seen elsewhere, your opinion ?
Dear users, a glorious patch submitted in June to make the masking and blending fully scene-referred-compliant (and unbounded) is currently being reviewed for merging in #darktable 3.4.
We would like to take this opportunity to declutter and remove the output masking parameter, which nobody seems to use. Does anyone has a case to make against this ?
The new filmic v4 highlight reconstruction in @darktable allowed the following photo to be salvaged, even though parts of the sky were completely blown out in the raw file. #darktable #darktableedit
Inventing a new view to explain filmic curve as a scene -> display range mapping zone by zone for next #darktable. It should make it easier to get.
The clipping alert in #darktable use to be a bit misleading, showing any RGB channel of any pixel out of the [0.1 ; 98] % range. Indeed, such clipped pixels could be the result of overexposure and/or oversaturation, and many users overreacted to this (pic. 1).
We introduce 2 new clipping modes: luminance (for pixels too bright/dark - pic. 2) and saturation (for pixels oversaturated for their luminance, aka out of gamut - pic. 3).
These will make diagnostics more relevant.
The darktable user manual is largely outdated. Problem is it uses an esoteric kind of XML required by a brittle software stack (Saxon) to be compiled into HTML or PDF.
This complexity steers away many contributors.
But thanks to Chris Elston, @secretlifeofmatt and @paperdigits, it is being rewritten in Markdown with a better "tutorial" approach.

#darktable 3.4 will let you define exports size directly in pixels (as in 3.2 and before) but also from the physical printing size × printing DPI.
Long-asked feature…
#darktable is on Mastodon now. Hi there !
