Shadows and highlights: Improve images by lightening shadows and darkening highlights. Contrast, brightness, saturation: Quickly tune your image using this simple module. Many modules support powerful blending operators offering blend functionality that works on the incoming image information and the output of the current module or be used with drawn masks. Automate repetitive tasks: Many aspects of darktable can be scripted in Lua.Ĭurrently darktable contains 61 image operation modules. All Exif data is read and written using libexiv2. Never lose your image development settings darktable uses both XMP sidecar files as well as its fast database for saving metadata and processing settings. darktable allows you to export to low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), or linear high dynamic range (PFM, EXR) images. Powerful export system supports G+ and Facebook webalbums, flickr upload, disk storage, 1:1 copy, email attachments and can generate a simple html-based web gallery. Speaks your language: darktable currently comes with 21 translations: Albanian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian and Portuguese), Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian. Tethered shooting: support for instrumentation of your camera with live view for some camera brands. Zero-latency, zoomable user interface: through multi-level software caches darktable provides a fluid experience. Image formats: darktable can import a variety of standard, raw and high dynamic range image formats (e.g. Filtering and sorting: search your image collections by tags, image rating (stars), color labels and many more, use flexible database queries on all metadata of your images. Cross platform: darktable runs on Linux, macOS / macports, BSD, Windows and Solaris 11 / GNOME. Professional color management: darktable is fully color managed, supporting automatic display profile detection on most systems, including built-in ICC profile support for sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ and linear RGB color spaces. GPU accelerated image processing: many image opertions are lightning fast thanks to OpenCL support (runtime detection and enabling).
Take advantage of the real power of raw: All darktable core functions operate on 4x32-bit floating point pixel buffers, enabling SSE instructions for speedups.Non-destructive editing throughout the complete workflow, your original images are never modified.
