It got few PPAs on for Ubuntu Lucid, Natty, Oneiric and Precise.įor stable releases add the Darktable Release PPA. The core operates completely on floating point values, so darktable can not only be used for photography but also for scientifically acquired images or output of renderers (high dynamic range).ĭarkTable is available in Ubuntu Software Center, but it’s old. The frontend is written in gtk+/cairo, the database uses sqlite3, raw image loading is done using libraw, high-dynamic range and standard image formats such as jpeg are also supported. The full image is only converted during export. The user will always be able to interact, even if the full resolution image is not yet loaded.Īll editing is fully non-destructive and only operates on cached image buffers for display. The user interface is built around efficient caching of image metadata and mipmaps, all stored in a database. It tries to fill the gap between the many excellent existing free raw converters and image management tools (such as ufraw or f-spot). It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. Darktable is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer.
