darktable 5.6.0 released

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:01:00 +0000

We’re proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 5.6.0!

The github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-5.6.0.

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.

darktable for Windows

Wed, 30 Aug 2017 18:11:00 +0000

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.

darktable 2.2.0rc3 released

Mon, 12 Dec 2016 10:20:28 +0000

we’re proud to announce the fourth 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-2.2.0rc3.

as always, please don’t use the tarball autogenerated by github, but only our .tar.xz with the following sha256sum:

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.

String freeze for the upcoming 2.2 series

Thu, 24 Nov 2016 11:31:33 +0000

This is a call for all our translators, now is the time to bring your .po file in the master branch up to date. We will not ship any translation that is not relatively complete, the exact threshold is still to be determined.

As a quick reminder, these are the steps to update the translation if you are working from git. language_code is not the whole filename of the po file but just the first part of it. For example, when for Italian the language code is it while the filename is it.po. You also have to compile darktable before updating your .po file as some of the translated files are auto-generated.

darktable 2.2.0rc1 released

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:01:27 +0000

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).

the github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-2.2.0rc1.

as always, please don’t use the tarball autogenerated by github, but only our .tar.xz with the following sha256sum:

0612163b0020bc3326909f6d7f7cbd8cfb5cff59b8e0ed1a9e2a2aa17d8f308e  darktable-2.2.0~rc1.tar.xz

darktable 2.2.0rc0 released

Sun, 06 Nov 2016 13:17:04 +0000

we’re proud to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming 2.2 series of darktable, 2.2.0rc0!

the github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-2.2.0rc0.

as always, please don’t use the autogenerated tarball provided by github, but only our tar.xz. the checksum is:

a084ef367b1a1b189ad11a6300f7e0cadb36354d11bf0368de7048c6a0732229 darktable-2.2.0~rc0.tar.xz

and the changelog as compared to 2.0.0 can be found below.

Well over 2 thousand 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 completedy rewritten, and is no longer useless!
A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the corresponding module
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, thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results when there is highlight clipping.
Add undo/redo support for the darkroom

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. 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
Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
Preview pipe now does run demosaic module too, and its input is no longer pre-demosaiced, but is just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time.
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

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
Add geolocation to watermark variables
Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
Support greyscale color profiles
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
Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series

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.

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).

Ubuntu Unstable Repository and our Release Candidates

Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:50:48 +0000

Following is a public service announcement from Pascal de Bruijn, the maintainer of the Ubuntu PPAs.

As most of you know, my darktable-unstable PPA was serving as a pre-release repository for our stable maintenance tree, as it usually does. Now as master has settled down, and we’re slowly gearing up for a 2.0 release, I’ll do pre-release (release candidate) builds for darktable 2.0 there.

On my darktable-unstable PPA I will support Ubuntu Trusty (14.04, the latest Long Term Support release) as always. Temporarily I’ll support Ubuntu Wily (15.10, the latest plain release) as well, at least until we have a final 2.0 stable release. Once we have a final 2.0 stable release I will support all Ubuntu versions (still) supported by Canonical at that time via my darktable-release PPA as usual.

Introducing the darktable app store

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:30:28 +0000

Today we are happy to announce a big new feature that we will not only ship with the big 2.0 release later this year but also with our next point release, 1.6.4, which is due in about a week: even more darkroom modules!

One of the big strengths of darktable has always been its varied selection of modules to tweak your image. However, that has also been one of the main points of criticism: too much, too many and too complicated to grasp. To make it easier for the user to deal with the flood of tools darktable has had the “more modules” list since many years. It changed its appearance a few times, we added module categories, allowed to select favorite modules, and all of that has proven to be useful. Thus there have always been people that approached us with great new ideas for new modules, especially since we moved to GitHub a while ago with its powerful Pull Request system, yet we couldn’t accept many of them. Some were not that great codewise, some didn’t really fit our product vision – and then there were some that looked nice and certainly benefited some users, but we felt it wasn’t generic enough to justify polluting our module list even more. Of course this was a bad situation, after all these people invested quite some time into providing us with a new feature that we turned down. No one likes to waste their time.

Release Candidate for darktable 1.6

Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:35:36 +0000

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”.

String freeze for darktable 1.6

Sat, 15 Nov 2014 14:18:57 +0000

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!

hi all,

as most of you probably noticed already, we published a point release, 1.4.1. the tarball is here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.1.tar.xz/download

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

user manual updated

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 15:08:28 +0000

Dear all,

we updated both the English online user manual and the PDF version to darktable 1.4. The online version can be found at https://darktable.org/usermanual/en/, the PDF document is available from here.

Many thanks to Ulrich and Jérémy for their outstanding work on keeping our documentation up to date!

Another thing worth mentioning is the current status of the user manual translation. We have several contributors working on translating the manual into French and Italian – thanks, Victor and Federico! We’ll inform you once we have something to release.

released darktable 1.4

Thu, 26 Dec 2013 14:25:12 +0000

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!

here is the macintosh disk image:

and this time it comes with an updated usermanual:

the changes on top of rc1 are minor, some details:

fixed a couple of exif strings for profiled denoising
fixed gcc 4.8.0 build
new noise profiles
fixed gphoto 2.5 issues
updated translations
updated user manual!

thanks all, and enjoy the release!

Updated user manual online

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 10:54:43 +0000

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!

1.1 release candidate 1

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:04:00 +0000

as commits are easing down a little lately it seems appropriate to push out the first release candidate of the new version:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc1.tar.gz/download

[update: mac package is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc1.dmg/download ]

That doesn’t mean this tarball is final or perfect by any means. we’ll probably go on releasing a couple of these on our way to the final release in a few weeks. This will be a feature release, as opposed to the bug fixing point release series 1.0.x, so we’ve got a huge bunch of changes for you this time. The changelog is not the final one either, but here it is:

New screencasts for darktable 1.0

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:41:48 +0000

Pascal recorded some new screencasts using the latest stable version of darktable, 1.0.4.

The first is (one can start speaking of “as usual”) dedicated to the changes and new features of darktable 1.0, giving an overview over improvements, new UI elements and workflow changes.

The second one is a bit more general. Pascal elaborates on raw file archiving and backups, about the pros and cons of DNG and Vendor formats and whether you want to embed your metadata or not.

String freeze for 0.9.3

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:43:57 +0000

We are in string freeze for the master branch now. This means that only tiny bugfixes can be accepted, which don’t change any strings, to make sure they don’t break translations.

That should lead us to another stable point release, 0.9.3, hopefully in a week or two.

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:04:51 +0000

admin stuff

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:01:56 +0000

darktable moved from svn to git. get it from git://darktable.git.sf.net/gitroot/darktable/darktable. the svn repository is still around, but i will probably remove it in the next couple of weeks. we also have nicer forums now.

we now have a mailinglist

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:01:13 +0000

in the hope to start a small community and to avoid duplicate email traffic, i created this mailing list. also note that there are the forums.

initial release!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:58:57 +0000

darktable is going online … so this is the very first version of this page, be patient with it.
