The Big Ones

  • A full rework of the GUI Gtk/CSS. The whole GUI is now fully controlled by CSS rules. There is no more size, color, position in Gtk C code. This makes the whole GUI themable. This version comes with different theme:

    • darktable : the default theme

    • darktable-elegant : more condensed fonts best experience if Roboto font installed

    • darktable-icons : as elegant, with IOP icons best experience if Roboto font installed

    • darktable-elegant-grey : as above but grey instead of dark

    • darktable-icons-grey : as above but grey instead of dark

    Note that this requires Gtk 3.22 or higher to work properly.

  • The color picker on the blend, tone curve, color zones and fill light modules now allows to select an area by ctrl+click on it.

  • Add undo/redo support in lighttable for tags, color labels, rating, metadata, deleted history stack, pasted history stack and applied style.

    IMPORTANT: As ctrl-z is commonly used for undo/redo this is what is used on the lighttable. This conflicts with the previous ctrl-z which was assigned to preview with focus point. The preview (previously z) and preview with focus detection (previously ctrl-z) are now assigned respectively to w and ctrl-w.

  • A new timeline view has been introduced in the lighttable.

  • A new exposé lighttable's mode to be used to compare multiple images.

  • A new lighttable mode 'culling' is added. It displays a fixed number of consecutive images, starting from the first selected image and allows to pan & zoom them. It can be navigated with the mouse wheel and keyboard and the number of displayed images can be set with an entry at the bottom.

  • A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable has been made to improve drastically the overall performance. This also includes the filmstrip which has also received a big rewrite for the same reasons. The lighttable is now usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

  • Add new raster mask supports. This is a copy of a parametric mask which is stable during the whole pixel-pipe.

  • Modules can now be re-ordered with shift+drag.

  • The color zones module now display an histogram based on the ‘select by’ channel and displays the selected range if the color picker is in area mode. It acts now like the tone curve (but horizontal), it has two edit modes: edit by area is the former one, if not checked nodes can be edited like in the tone curve, delete only works by right-click when not in edit area mode. A new process mode has been added: smooth is the former one, strong is new. An interpolation method has been added that allows to select different types of curves. The color picker allows to select by area with ctrl+click. A new color picker has been added that creates a curve based on the area selected from the image. When pressing the shortcut 'pan&zoom while editing masks' the draw area can now be zoomed. Double-click on the bottom bar resets the zoom.

New Features And Changes

  • A new module for handling 3D Lut transformations (PNG Hald-CLUT and Cube files are supported).

  • A new profile ‘histogram profile’ has been added on the same pop-up that the softproof one on the darkroom. It controls the color space of the histogram, color picker and overexposed check. When gamut or softproof checks are active the histogram and color picker use the softproof profile, otherwise they use the histogram profile. The overexposed check always use the histogram profile.

  • A new profile 'work profile' has been added to the input color profile module. Now RGB modules between the input and output color profile modules will work with this profile.

  • A new color picker has been added to the blend module next to the existing one that adjusts the range sliders based on the selected area from the image. Click to adjust the input image slider, ctrl+click to adjust the out image one.

  • The picasa module has been renamed to googlephoto and completely rewrote to support the new Google Photo API. It is now again possible to create albums directly from the export module.

  • New module image information which can be positioned at the bottom or the top of the darkroom. The information displayed can be changed via the preferences. This module can replace the image information displayed on the histogram.

  • Many code optimizations for CPU and SSE paths.

  • A new preference to expand/collapse a darkroom module when it is activated/deactivated.

  • The collect module supports single click if the corresponding new option is activated.

  • The collect module supports range selection (for numeric/dates) when using single click mode.

  • Add option to scatter the search zone in denoise profile non local means mode.

  • The gradient mask orientation is now clearly displayed by using an arrow.

  • Add support for theme, and allow to dynamically load theme from the preferences.

  • The graduatednd module has better accuracy when computing the rotation to avoid the gradient to flip sporadically.

  • Make sure the OpenCL kernel code are recompiled when the driver version is updated.

  • Add color pickers in the split toning module.

  • Add color pickers in the graduateddnd module.

  • Add color picker to the watermark module.

  • The color picker point positions are kept during the editing on the module.

  • The map view will zoom on the images of the selected collection.

  • The slideshow supports changing the delay between each images.

  • The slideshow will now start at the selected pictures if any.

  • The slideshow will now be more responsive when changing the picture backward and forward.

  • Add soft boundaries for denoise profile controls.

  • A new module 'basic adjustments' has been added. It allows to adjust the exposure, highlight compression, contrast, brightness and saturation. It also has an auto feature based on Rawtherapee's auto levels that can work on the entire image or a user selected area. Both the contrast and the auto feature use the middle grey point, the default for this setting is based on the work profile.

  • A new module 'rgb curve' has been added. It has linked and independent RGB channels. It works with the rgb colorspace selected on the work profile. The curves and histogram can be displayed using the work profile or can be scaled to be 50% grey. The color picker allows to select by area with ctrl+click. The second color picker add 4 nodes to the curve based on the area selected from the image: min, average, middle, max. When pressing the shortcut 'pan&zoom while editing masks' the draw area can be zoomed. Different types of curves can be selected.

  • A new module 'rgb levels' has been added. It has linked and independent channels, preserve colors option and is native RGB.

  • A search text has been added to the module groups in the darkroom. It has a config option to show only the modules groups, only the search text or both. Modules are searched by name (localized).

    If displaying only the search text, the active pipe modules are displayed when the search text is empty. A darkroom shortcut can be set to focus on the search box.

  • A preview window has been added to the darkroom that displays the edited image on a separate window.

  • A new option 'skip' is added to the 'on conflic' setting on the export module that skips the export if the file already exists.

  • Allow to change algorithm clone/heal and blur/color in retouch module.

Bug fixes

  • The color picker support has been fixed by a complete rewrite. It should now gives correct values in all cases.

  • Fix overexposed display.

  • Do not disable SSL for storage modules.

  • A long standing bug on mask distort in Liquify module has been fixed. This was visible when a liquify mask was used together with the perspective correction module activated.

  • Fix manual crop in perspective correction module when not in default orientation.

  • The modification of date/time is now stored into the XMP. This ensure that removing the picture and reloading will keep the change made.

  • Fix orientation to support all cases as exposed in these examples: https://github.com/recurser/exif-orientation-examples

  • Store the panel states for each lighttable mode.

  • The displayed image in darkroom view can now be changed

  • GUI panel visibility can now be queried and changed

  • Lighttable view toolbox (rating filter, rating comparator, sort field, and sort direction) can now be changed
