Darktable 3.6 released with many new features! Check out!.
♞ Coming up on Runboxing ♞
Darktable 3.6 has been released with many new features. Check out the details of this
update and see how to install or update on Linux.
Darktable is an excellent image processor that works with the RAW format and is available
for free in versions for the main Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Solaris, under the GPL version
3 or higher.
An open source alternative to Adobe Lightroom, Darktable allows photographers to make non-destructive
edits to their images, as well as manage, sort and organize photos.
But, unlike other apps in the category, instead of being a raster graphics editor like Adobe
Photoshop or GIMP, Darktable works with a set of tools specifically aimed at processing
photos in RAW format.
And as it uses non-destructive editing, it is mainly focused on improving the photographer's
work process, making it easier to manage large amounts of images.
Now, open-source, cross-platform RAW image editor Darktable 3.6 was released today with
a number of bug fixes and better camera support, introducing new white balance presets and
noise profiles.
What's New in Darktable 3.6
Darktable 3.6 arrives six months after the release of Darktable 3.4 to fully revamp the
import module to let you see image thumbnails before importing, introducing a new default
demosaic algorithm called RCD, along with dual demosaic support to combine RCD + VNG4
and AMaZE + VNG4 for bayer sensors. A new vector scope is also present in Darktable
3.6 to complement the current histogram, waveform and page views, as well as a new Color Balance
RGB module for all your color grading needs and a new censor module to hide parts of the
image by adding a blur or pixelation effect.
As of this release, Darktable now draws shapes
on the original RAW image and then distorts them through the pixelpipe.
In addition, Darktable now displays a dash when importing a GPX file and allows you to
define locations using polygons created directly from information reported by Open Street Map.
And Darktable 3.6 also adds support for removing multiple styles at once, improves decoding
of JPEG-2000 files, adds support for bulk import and export, and introduces collection
filter presets to display images based on their aspect ratio and date of import.
Various improvements have also been made to the various lightbox modules, the export module,
the mix control in the contrast equalizer module and the RAW chromatic aberration module.
Among other noteworthy changes, Darktable 3.6 replaces the basic settings module with
the quick access panel, adds a new section in the color calibration module to allow you
to calibrate colors using a color checker chart, and introduces the ability to create
an opacity mask based on an image sharpness.
To top it off, the color calibration module received a new color preservation method and
the TIFF export module received numerous improvements.

including Fujifilm GFX100S (compressed), Fujifilm X-E4 (compressed), Fujifilm X-S10 (compressed),
