Changes since 3.0.0

The Big Ones

• A new color assessment mode is introduced into the darkroom. This
  mode is designed to ensure proper color perception based on
  ICC recommended (ISO 12646:2008) colour proofing conditions.

• It is now possible to resize the left and right panels directly with
  the mouse. The positions of each one is remembered for each views'
  layout.

• Add a focus peaking mode in the lighttable and darkroom. The default
  key to toggle this mode is Ctrl+Shift+F

• The wavelet denoise profile has a new Y0U0V0 mode. This new mode
  makes it possible to denoise the chroma and luma noise in a single
  instance.

New Features And Changes

• Add darkroom loading screen.

• Make modules labels a bit smaller for better UI consistency.

• Add small rectangle around the angle display when using the
  straightening tool for better visibility.

• Ensure the different views layout are recorded. Many views (and mode
  like lighttable's culling or darkroom's color assessment), can have
  the filmstrip or timeline bottom widgets, we record the exact layout
  for each view and mode.

• Add tool tips on module in history.

• Add support for applying back the last added key-word with a simple
  key short-cut. Default short-cut is Alt+T.

• Add wide-gamut HLG/PQ based color space P3 and Rec2020.

• Add custom borders support in framing module.

• Add standard variables support in watermark module.

• Allow the same short-cuts to be defined by different modules. This
  makes it possible to have the filmstrip using the same short-cuts to
  set stars as the lighttable.

• Add log editing support for the L, R, G, B, C, g blending modes.
  This gives more control on the dark pixels.

• Define many new accels for most of the sliders to allow more control
  using the keyboard.

• The images operations modules has been extended to support copying,
  replacing and merging metadata.

• Better visibility for the zoomed image part in the navigation widget.

• Revert to smooth mode (was default in 2.6) in color zone module.

• It is now possible to resize the collect module windows with
  Ctrl+Scroll.

• Add support for compressed LUT (.gmz) in the 3D LUT module.

• Use a more natural folder order in the collect module, the latest
  folder are now listed first.

• Module search in darkroom is now case-insensitive.

Bug fixes

• All valid LUT files are displayed in file selector.

• Fix straightening in crop and rotate module when flip is applied.

• The ellipse and gradient masks can now be manipulated when the
  crop and rotate flip is activated.

• Fix style editing from lighttable. The modules list was empty due to
  an error in SQL statement.

• Make clicking on group icon easier. The active zone around the group
  icon was too small.

• Make sure no more than 64 spots are added in spot removal module and
  display a message when the limit is reached.

• Delay histogram display until the image is fully loaded and so the
  corresponding histogram is ready. Darktable was displaying the
  previously computed histogram for a short period of time.

• Properly update the XMP when doing undo/redo actions.

• Fix discrepancies between the SSE/OpenCL local Laplacian code paths.

• Better performance for tone equalizer's guided filter.

• Exports should now better respect the final dimensions requested.

• Fix issues with brush opacity handling.

• Better performance for computing the aspect ratio.

• Fix importing of duplicates on Windows.

• Better visibility of tone curve grid on Grey theme.

• Better accuracy for the keystone OSD lines.

• Better performance and accuracy improvements for the waveform histogram.

• Some HiDPI fixes in icons.

• The Facebook, Google Photo and Flickr export storage have been
  removed as not supported anymore due to deep changes in the provider
  making it very hard to fix.

• Fix brush OSD when in zoom mode. The brushes are now keeping thin
  lines.

• Fix watermark blurring when using rotation.

• Fix using apostrophe in meta-data.

• Fix time-line display reporting 61 minutes per hour.

• Remove wrong presets in RGB-curve module.

• Fix some duplicate pipe recomputation.

White Balance Presets

• Canon EOS 77D
• Canon EOS 9000D
• Nikon COOLPIX P1000
• Panasonic DC-GH5

Noise Profiles

• Almost 3 thousand commits to darktable+rawspeed since 2.6
• 553 pull requests handled
• 66 issues closed
• Updated user manual is coming soon™

The Big Ones

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

name	description
darktable	the default theme
darktable-icons	the default theme with icons
darktable-elegant-darker	more condensed fonts ; best experience with Roboto font installed
darktable-icons-darker	as elegant, with module icons ; best experience with Roboto font installed
darktable-elegant-dark	lighter version
darktable-elegant-grey	even lighter version
darktable-icons-dark	lighter version. with module icons
darktable-icons-grey	even lighter version, with module icons

New shortcuts have been introduced to quickly collapse borders, sidebars, histogram and
navigation modules, allowing a new borderless editing experience.

Note that the new GUI requires Gtk+ 3.22 or higher to work properly.

• It's now possible to associate dynamic key shortcuts to sliders, then
  use them with the mouse wheel or arrow keys to move the value up and down.
  For example, associating the E key to the exposure slider, you can press
  it and scroll to increase the exposure without having to open the module.
  You get fast heads-up access to all your favorite settings, as if you
  were using a dedicated multimedia console.

• The color picker on the 'tone curve', 'color zones' and 'fill light' modules,
  as well as the parametric mask controls, now allows you to select an
  area when enabled by using Ctrl+click on the button.

• Added undo/redo support in lighttable for tags, color labels, ratings,
  metadata, deleted history stack, pasted history stack and applied
  styles.

  IMPORTANT:
  The 'preview' and 'preview with focus detection' actions
  (previously Z and Ctrl+Z respectively) are now assigned to
  W and Ctrl+W in order to follow the convention of
  using Ctrl+Z for the "undo" function (Ctrl+Y for redo).

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

• A new 'culling' mode has been added to the lightable view. It
  displays a fixed number of consecutive images starting from the first
  selected, and allows you to pan & zoom them. The number of displayed images
  can be set by the user, and they can be navigated with the mouse wheel
  and keyboard.

• A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable view (including the filmstrip in darkroom view)
  has been made to greatly improve the overall performance. The lighttable is now
  usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

• Added support for the new 'raster mask', a copy of a parametric mask
  which is stable during the whole pixel-pipe.

• The processing order of the pixel-pipe can now be changed by using
  Ctrl+Shift+drag on the module headers to arrange them relative
  to each other. It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that this feature is NOT
  for creating a more convenient GUI layout, but for changing the actual
  processing of the image. DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE unless you understand the
  reason behind the default ordering, and have a specific reason for changing it.
  The default order is still the correct order for most purposes. Also note that
  styles will always apply the default ordering; creating a style based on modules
  which have had their order changed will NOT recreate this changed order when
  applied, and therefore may not give the expected result.

• The history stack will now always show mandatory modules which were previously
  hidden. They are always active as necessary for processing images, and are not
  removed by compressing history or by selecting one as a stating point for editing.
  These seven modules (some are RAW-only) have a specific icon to identify them easily:

      - raw black/white point
      - white balance
      - highlight reconstruction
      - demosaic
      - input color profile
      - output color profile
      - gamma
  

• The 'color zones' module now shows a histogram based on the chosen ‘select
  by’ channel, and if the color picker is in 'select area' mode, the range within
  the selected area will also be shown. By default, the spline adjustment is
  now similar to the curve controls, allowing you to add and delete nodes, but
  these nodes can still be moved with the old-style size control by selecting
  the 'edit by area' checkbox. There is also a new 'strong' processing option,
  and a new color picker which creates a curve based on selected image area.

• A new module 'filmic RGB' which, like the previous 'filmic', is designed
  to replace 'base curve', 'shadows and highlights' and other global tone-mapping modules.
  This new version replaces the one introduced in 2.6.2; it should be easier to use,
  and it will reduce color casts. The old 'filmic' module is now deprecated and
  is only available on images where it was already used for editing.

• A new module 'tone equalizer' is designed to merge the features of 'zone system',
  'shadows and highlights', and (local) 'tone mapping' modules in a scene-referred
  RGB space. It brings an easy and safe way to remap tones locally, performing a quick
  zone-based dodging and burning using Ansel Adam's zone system logic.
  The module provides an interface similar to audio graphic equalizers,
  with 9 bands (available as fixed sliders or nodes on a spline view),
  allowing you to selectively push or pull the exposure for each band in the
  range from blacks to specular highlights. It also features an interactive
  cursor that allows to push or pull the exposure gains directly from
  the image preview by simply hovering over an area and scrolling. It uses a guided filter
  internally to refine the dodging and burning mask, which preserves local contrast
  without producing halos along edges.

New Features And Changes

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

• Many improvements to the 'denoise (profiled)' module. The degree of shadow
  denoising can be controlled, including the correction of color casts
  (mainly improves high-ISO images). "Auto" modes which infer some parameters
  from the profile are available, allowing users to create presets
  which are adaptive to various ISO values. The default values of the sliders
  are also adapted dynamically on module activation, giving a good trade-off
  between noise smoothing and detail preservation. The non-local means mode
  has 2 new options: one to coarse-grain denoising, and one to control the
  amount of fine detail to preserve. The controls now have soft boundaries,
  which means that users can use the keyboard to enter values outside the
  range of the sliders if they need to.

• Along with selecting the 'soft proof' color profile, users can now select an
  additional profile for the color space of the histogram, color picker and
  overexposed checker. When gamut or softproof checks are active the histogram
  and color picker use the softproof profile, otherwise they use the new
  histogram profile (which is always used for overexposure checking).

• A new setting for 'working profile' has been added to the input color profile
  module. This color space will be used by RGB modules between the input and
  output color profile modules.

• A new color picker has been added to the parametric masking controls which
  adjusts the range sliders based on the selected area from the image. Click the
  picker button to adjust the input image slider, Ctrl+click the
  button to adjust the output image slider.

• The 'picasa' target storage in the export module has been completely rewritten
  to support the new Google Photo API, and renamed 'google photos'. It is again
  possible to create albums directly from the export module.

• A new single-line image information display can be positioned at the top (left, right,
  or center) or bottom (center) of the darkroom view to replace the information previously
  overlaid on the histogram. The specific information shown can be configured in preferences.

• The 'tagging' module is faster, and can now disp...

• A new setting for 'working profile' has been added to the input color profile
  module. This color space will be used by RGB modules between the input and
  output color profile modules.

• A new color picker has been added to the parametric masking controls which
  adjusts the range sliders based on the selected area from the image. Click the
  picker button to adjust the input image slider, Ctrl+click the
  button to adjust the output image slider.

• The 'picasa' target storage in the export module has been completely rewritten

• A new single-line image information display can be positioned at the top (left, right,
  or center) or bottom (center) of the darkroom view to replace the information previously
  overlaid on the histogram. The specific information shown can be configured in preferences.

• The 'tagging' module is faster, and can now display hierarchical tags in a
  tree view. Tags can now be designated as 'private' (not exported by default),
  'synonym' (to help search engines), and 'category' (not exported, for organizing
  the tag library). The metadata exported with images can now be configured in the
  'export selected' module, allowing you to choose which main types are exported,
  as well as define values for specific tags based on formulas.

• Many code optimizations for CPU and SSE paths. The tone equalizer module
  introduces a new optimization paradigm (GCC target clones), aimed toward users
  of pre-built Linux packages. The image-processing code will be cloned for several
  CPU generations (SSE2, SSE3, SSE4...

The Big Ones

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

  • darktable : the default theme

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

  • darktable-icons-darker : as elegant, with module icons
    best experience with Roboto font installed

  • darktable-elegant-dark : lighter version

  • darktable-elegant-grey : even lighter version

  • darktable-icons-dark : lighter version. with module icons

  • darktable-icons-grey : even lighter version, with module icons

  New shortcuts have been introduced to quickly collapse borders, sidebars, histogram and
  navigation modules, allowing a new borderless editing experience.

  Note that the new GUI requires Gtk+ 3.22 or higher to work properly.

• It's now possible to associate dynamic key shortcuts to sliders, then
  use them with the mouse wheel or arrow keys to move the value up and down.
  For example, associating the E key to the exposure slider, you can press
  it and scroll to increase the exposure without having to open the module.
  You get fast heads-up access to all your favorite settings, as if you
  were using a dedicated multimedia console.

• The color picker on the 'tone curve', 'color zones' and 'fill light' modules,
  as well as the parametric mask controls, now allows you to select an
  area when enabled by using Ctrl+click on the button.

• Added undo/redo support in lighttable for tags, color labels, ratings,
  metadata, deleted history stack, pasted history stack and applied
  styles.

  IMPORTANT:
  The 'preview' and 'preview with focus detection' actions
  (previously Z and Ctrl+Z respectively) are now assigned to
  W and Ctrl+W in order to follow the convention of
  using Ctrl+Z for the "undo" function (Ctrl+Y for redo).

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

• A new 'culling' mode has been added to the lightable view. It
  displays a fixed number of consecutive images starting from the first
  selected, and allows you to pan & zoom them. The number of displayed images
  can be set by the user, and they can be navigated with the mouse wheel
  and keyboard.

• A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable view (including the filmstrip in darkroom view)
  has been made to greatly improve the overall performance. The lighttable is now
  usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

• Added support for the new 'raster mask', a copy of a parametric mask
  which is stable during the whole pixel-pipe.

• The processing order of the pixel-pipe can now be changed by using
  Ctrl+Shift+drag on the module headers to arrange them relative
  to each other. It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that this feature is NOT
  for creating a more convenient GUI layout, but for changing the actual
  processing of the image. DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE unless you understand the
  reason behind the default ordering, and have a specific reason for changing it.
  The default order is still the correct order for most purposes.

• The 'color zones' module now shows a histogram based on the chosen ‘select
  by’ channel, and if the color picker is in 'select area' mode, the range within
  the selected area will also be shown. By default, the spline adjustment is
  now similar to the curve controls, allowing you to add and delete nodes, but
  these nodes can still be moved with the old-style size control by selecting
  the 'edit by area' checkbox. There is also a new 'strong' processing option,
  and a new color picker which creates a curve based on selected image area.

• A new module 'filmic RGB' which, like the previous 'filmic', is designed
  to replace 'base curve', 'shadows and highlights' and other global tone-mapping modules.
  This new version replaces the one introduced in 2.6.2; it should be easier to use,
  and it will reduce color casts. The old 'filmic' module is now deprecated and
  is only available on images where it was already used for editing.

• A new module 'tone equalizer' is designed to merge the features of 'zone system',
  'shadows and highlights', and (local) 'tone mapping' modules in a scene-referred
  RGB space. It brings an easy and safe way to remap tones locally, performing a quick
  zone-based dodging and burning using Ansel Adam's zone system logic.
  The module provides an interface similar to audio graphic equalizers,
  with 9 bands (available as fixed sliders or nodes on a spline view),
  allowing you to selectively push or pull the exposure for each band in the
  range from blacks to specular highlights. It also features an interactive
  cursor that allows to push or pull the exposure gains directly from
  the image preview by simply hovering over an area and scrolling. It uses a guided filter
  internally to refine the dodging and burning mask, which preserves local contrast
  without producing halos along edges.

New Features And Changes

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

• Many improvements to the 'denoise (profiled)' module. The degree of shadow
  denoising can be controlled, including the correction of color casts
  (mainly improves high-ISO images). "Auto" modes which infer some parameters
  from the profile are available, allowing users to create presets
  which are adaptive to various ISO values. The default values of the sliders
  are also adapted dynamically on module activation, giving a good trade-off
  between noise smoothing and detail preservation. The non-local means mode
  has 2 new options: one to coarse-grain denoising, and one to control the
  amount of fine detail to preserve. The controls now have soft boundaries,
  which means that users can use the keyboard to enter values outside the
  range of the sliders if they need to.

• Along with selecting the 'soft proof' color profile, users can now select an
  additional profile for the color space of the histogram, color picker and
  overexposed checker. When gamut or softproof checks are active the histogram
  and color picker use the softproof profile, otherwise they use the new
  histogram profile (which is always used for overexposure checking).

• A new setting for 'working profile' has been added to the input color profile
  module. This color space will be used by RGB modules between the input and
  output color profile modules.

• A new color picker has been added to the parametric masking controls which
  adjusts the range sliders based on the selected area from the image. Click the
  picker button to adjust the input image slider, Ctrl+click the
  button to adjust the output image slider.

• The 'picasa' target storage in the export module has been completely rewritten
  to support the new Google Photo API, and renamed 'google photos'. It is again
  possible to create albums directly from the export module.

• A new single-line image information display can be positioned at the top (left, right,
  or center) or bottom (center) of the darkroom view to replace the information previously
  overlaid on the histogram. The specific information shown can be configured in preferences.

• The 'tagging' module is faster, and can now display hierarchical tags in a
  tree view. Tags can now be designated as 'private' (not exported by default),
  'synonym' (to help search engines), and 'category' (not exported, for organizing
  the tag library). The metadata exported with images can now be configured in the
  'export selected' module, allowing you to choose which main types are exported,
  as well as define values for specific tags based on formulas.

• Many code optimizations for CPU and SSE paths. The tone equalizer module
  introduces a new optimization paradigm (GCC target clones), aimed toward users
  of pre-built Linux packages. The image-processing code will be cloned for several
  CPU generations (SSE2, SSE...

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-darker : more condensed fonts
    best experience if Roboto font installed

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

  • darktable-elegant-dark : lighter version

  • darktable-elegant-grey : even lighter version

  • darktable-icons-dark : lighter version

  • darktable-icons-grey : even lighter version

  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 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 Ctrl+Shift+drag.

  IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

  Note that this is NOT a GUI re-ordering but a pixel-pipe
  reordering. If you're not familiar with pixel pipe order and the
  actual quality that could result from changing the default, do not
  change the order.

  The default order has been set to give the best result in the
  majority of time and will never be on the wrong side.

• 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 module Filmic RBG. This module is designed to replace the base
  curve, shadows and highlights. The new filmic rgb module replaces
  the old one introduced in 2.6.2 and should be easier to use and will
  reduce color casts. The old filmic module is now deprecated and
  cannot be used on new developments.

• New module tone equalizer which brings an easy and safe way to
  adjust the tones in different areas of the image. The module comes
  with 9 controls ranging from blacks area to specular ones. It
  possible to adjust each area with slides, curve or directly over the
  image with a controllable picker.

New Features And Changes

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

• Many changes to denoise profiled. The variance stabilization transform
  has changed, allowing a finer control of denoising. In particular,
  it is possible to better denoise the shadows, and correct color casts
  that may occur in the shadows. This change mainly improves the denoising
  of high ISO images.
  The non-local means mode has 2 new options: an option to scatter
  the search zone, and an option to control the amount of details to keep.
  In addition, one "auto" mode was added both for wavelets and non-local
  means. This mode infers some parameters from the profile used.
  The default values of the sliders are also changed dynamically in the same
  way. As such, user who want a one click denoising can activate the module
  and get straight away a good trade-off between noise smoothing and detail
  preservation.
  The auto modes allow the user to create their own presets that will
  adapt to various ISOs.
  Finally denoise profiled controls now have soft boundaries, which means
  that users can enter values out of visible bounds using the keyboard if
  they need to.

• 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.

• The tagging module is faster than before and has got new features.
  The most visible one is the ability to display hierarchical tags in a
  tree view. New commands (context menu) have been added to help to maintain
  your tags dictionary.
  It introduces also the notions of private tags (not exported by default),
  synonyms (to help search engines) and categories (not exported,
  can be used as an helper to structure your tags without polluting them and/or
  to define metadata fitting with your needs).
  In line with these new features, exported metadata are now configured
  in export selected module.
  The main metadata types can be set as exported or not,
  but you can also define one by one specific metadata, you fill in with
  available dt information, in particular tags and categories (metadata
  formulas share the same set of variables than file name in the same module).

• 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.

• 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.
