It also uses maps to show images already geotagged by a camera.Ĭurrent plugin palette used in Darktable 1.2Īs of December 2019, darktable includes 67 image adjustment plugins, which it divides into 5 groups Basic group The fourth mode can display maps from different online sources and geotags images by drag-and-drop. The third mode allows tethering through gPhoto to some of the cameras which support it. Darktable's configuration allows custom keyboard shortcuts and personalized defaults.

The latter also gives access to the preferences configuration. A filmstrip with other images is displayed at the bottom, and can be sorted and filtered using lists from the upper panel.

The left panel displays a pannable preview of the current image, an undo history stack, a color picker, and Exif information. The second mode, "darkroom", displays the image at center, with four panels around it most tools appear on the right side. A module used to export images is located at the bottom-right. Rating and categorizing buttons are at the top, while the right-side panel features various modules such as a metadata editor and a tag editor. The left panel is for importing images, displaying Exif information, and filtering. All panels in all modes can be minimized to save screen real estate. Upon launching, lighttable opens by default, where image collections are listed. Two more modes are tethering and a map view. Each represents a step in the image development process. User interface ĭarktable has two main modes: lighttable and darkroom. Multiple histogram types are available, all with individually selectable red, green and blue channels: linear, logarithmic and waveform (new in version 1.4). One example might be calling an external application during file export in order to apply additional processing steps outside of Darktable. Lua can be used to define actions which Darktable should perform whenever a specified event is triggered. Scripting ĭarktable can be controlled by scripts written in Lua version 5.2. Images can be exported to Wikimedia Commons using an external plugin. Raw image formats, JPEG, HDR and PFM images can be imported from disk or camera, and exported to disk, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, email, and to a simple HTML-based web gallery as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, PPM, PFM and EXR images. Color ĭarktable has built-in ICC profile support for sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ and linear RGB color spaces. An arbitrary number of masks can be created and are collected into a "mask manager" on the left hand side of the darkroom UI. There are five mask types available: brush, circle, ellipse, bezier path, and gradient all are resizable, allow fade-out radius for smooth blending and can have their opacity controlled. Support for drawn masks was added in Darktable version 1.4, allowing application of effects to manually specified areas of an image. Scripts can be linked to hotkeys or specific events, such as when importing new images.
