Frequently Asked Questions

Some commonly asked questions can be found in our FAQ. Please read it before reporting bugs or feature requests.

User manual

As of darktable 5.2 we no longer maintain separate versions of the user manual for each release of darktable, since we don’t have the resources to support this.

Please see the following link for the current development version of the user manual (in English). This is likely to remain a work in progress – it may be missing some new functionality and it may also contain documentation for features that have not yet been delivered in a release.

While translations of the user manual are still available (see links from within the English version above), many of them will likely be incomplete, since we lost our translation server some time ago and have not yet been able to resurrect it. Please see the bottom of this page for older versions of the user manual which, though out of date, may contain more complete translations.

If you would like to help contribute to the maintenance of the user manual, please see our github repository.
