  • lightroom import: convert some basic edits from your lightroom collection to darktable operations.
  • multi instance support: duplicate your modules and apply them more than one time with different settings.
  • improved usability for distorting modules (streamline spot removal in the presence of crop/rotate for example).
  • selective copy/paste of image processing.
  • new more intuitive keystone correction tool.
  • jpeg2000 support.
  • graphics magick import (support virtually all input image formats).
  • much faster thumbnail loading (if you can live with crappy embedded thumbnails).
  • incredibly lengthy list of small bug fixes, performance enhancements, and usability improvements.
  • new camera support (decode and color matrices).
  • dithering against banding.
  • sharper thumbnails in lighttable mode.
  • new oauth2 based picasa uploader.
  • updated translations.

  • more assorted small fixes

darktable wouldn't be where it is now if we weren't able to depend on
the great work of others, in particular we'd like to thank:

klaus post (rawspeed), dave coffin (dcraw), andreas hugel (exiv2),
andrew zabolotny (lensfun), marti maria (lcms), niels kristian bech

Updated user manual online

Dear all,

the online user manual has been updated to reflect the latest release of darktable. This is the html version of the reworked user manual for darktable 1.1 which descibes all major features of darktables and serves as a reference for all image operation modules.

The user manual for the upcoming darktable 1.2 is almost finished and is being proofread right now. Still, any changes and additions for the post-1.2 era are more than welcome!

Released darktable 1.1.2

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

The tarball can be found here:
http://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:
http://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 http://software.opensuse.org/package/darktable and will be included in the upcoming opensuse 12.3 thanks to Togan Muftuoglu.

Changelog:

  • Fix export resolution rounding issue (as in previous version it could be off-by-one)
  • Correctly set output dimension in exif instead of passing the raw resolution verbatim
  • Local average green eq. was fixed (it now works on high ISO images as well, and should no longer produce hot pixels)
  • Use ordered arrays in XMP files
  • Disable export parallelism for flickr/picasa export
  • Don't enter tethering mode when there is no camera attached (this made darktable look as if it was hung, even though that wasn't the case)
  • Bring back the pin for map thumbnails
  • Improved TIFF support
  • Vignetting now has a dithering option (to mitigate occasional banding)
  • Read Nikon subject distance properly
  • Assorted FreeBSD fixes
  • Various OpenCL fixes
  • Usermanual updates

Support for the following camera's with either preliminarily added or updated:

  • Canon EOS 6D
  • Canon PowerShot s110

  • Nikon 1 v2
  • Nikon D600
  • Nikon Coolpix P7700

  • Panasonic DMC LX7
  • Pentax K5ii

  • Canon EOS 550D
  • Canon EOS 5D Mark III
  • Olympus XZ 1
  • Sony NEX C3
  • Sony SLT A57
  • Sony nex 5N

This stable release was mostly brought to you by Pascal says the hall-of-fame script:

  • 30 Pascal de Bruijn
  • 29 Ulrich Pegelow
  • 13 parafin
  • 6 Tobias Ellinghaus
  • 5 johannes hanika
  • 4 Pascal Obry
  • 4 Jean-Sébastien Pédron
  • 2 Roman Lebedev

released 1.1.1

we released a patch release:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.1.tar.gz/download

along with an updated usermanual:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.1.pdf/download

this resolves a couple of issues with 1.1. so no new features here, but:

  • minor reordering of lighttable mode modules (geotagging, keywords and recent collections)
  • cleaned up the default visible plugins when first starting darktable
  • in most cases raw files will now show thumbnails in the import dialog (thanks to Mattias Eriksson)
  • a curve related crash was fixed (#9906 thanks to James C. McPherson)
  • comma seperated tags should work everywhere now (#9006 thanks to Tobias Ellinghaus)
  • Ulrich Pegelow fixed a huge amount of opencl related issues, particularly for AMD GPUs
  • we now deal better with hybrid GPU machines (#9074 by Ulrich Pegelow)
  • a deadlock in the lens correction module was fixed (#9106 thanks to Ulrich Pegelow)
  • we don't delete module presets when cancelling the dialog anymore (#9108 thanks to Tobias Ellinghaus)
  • we now have better default memory usage settings (which are set upon starting darktable the first time)
  • initial support for SONY NEX 5R
  • preliminary/experimental Canon EOS 6D and Sony RX1 support (future changes for these camera's may (for the time being) retroactively affect your images)
  • Canon EOS 6D white balance presets (thanks to no_maam_)
  • lots of updates for the usermanual (make sure you download a new copy from here)
  • and for our 1.1 the ubuntu packages from the PPAs were built without facebook export support, this has been fixed for 1.1.1

darktable wouldn't be where it is now if we weren't able to depend on
the great work of others, in particular we'd like to thank:

Klaus Post (RawSpeed), Dave Coffin (dcraw), Andreas Hugel (Exiv2),
Andrew Zabolotny (Lensfun), Marti Maria (lcms), Niels Kristian Bech Jensen (ufraw).

have a lot of fun!
