![]() ![]() Our resident color scientist Aurélien Pierre (support him on liberapay or paypal) has been hard at work developing some more toys for you and darktable 3.8 introduces two new modules. If you wish to retain the old behavior (only show the guides when cropping) you can still do this as well. Right-click on the same button to change the type and color of the displayed lines. ![]() If you miss the convenience of all of this functionality in a single module, don’t forget that you can also assign shortcuts or add controls from all three modules to the quick access panel.įinally, the compositional guide overlays (previously only available from the crop & rotate and crop modules) have now been enhanced so that they can be permanently enabled by clicking on the guide lines button in the bottom panel. We have also ported the right-click-and-drag method of defining horizontal/vertical orientation to this module. Rotation and keystone correction can now be found in the perspective correction module (now renamed to rotate and perspective), which has been enhanced to include controls for rotating the image and manually defining perspective (keystone) correction.You can horizontally/vertically flip your image in the orientation module.Its position in the pipeline means that the retouch module can now take its source patches from outside of the cropped image area. The new crop module (we’ll leave you to guess what it does) was introduced in darktable 3.6.Its functionality is now shared between three modules: The project to replace this module is complete and crop & rotate is now deprecated. We mentioned in the darktable 3.6 blog post that the crop & rotate module has become very hard to maintain, mostly because it tries to do three things (crop, rotate, keystone) at the same time, and the code has become very convoluted. We are aware that some people have been using builds with experimental CR3 support and, while this (LibRaw) solution is quite different those experimental builds, we are not aware of any conflicts with the new implementation. This support is provided by LibRaw and requires (at least) exiv2 version 0.27.4 with BMFF support enabled. Canon CR3 SupportĬanon CR3 files are now fully supported by darktable – for a complete list of supported cameras please see the release notes. See here for some more information on device support.įor those who want to continue just using the keyboard and mouse, you can now use single, double and triple clicks or key-presses, long-clicks, and mouse cursor movements in your shortcuts, for maximum flexibility.Īs a by-product of this work, the quick access panel now supports a number of graphical module controls, such as tone curves and wavelet-based spline curves, so every control from every module can now be added to the quick access panel. The new system is fully tested and compatible with the Behringer X-touch Mini controller but should support (to a greater or lesser extent) any MIDI device. You can now control virtually all of darktable’s functionality with buttons, knobs, sliders and joysticks as well as the keyboard and mouse (for the traditionalists). To compensate for that loss have introduced an entirely new shortcut system that now supports MIDI and game controllers. We have removed all of your custom keyboard shortcuts. The website has been upgraded to use the Hugo static site generator (many thanks to Robby Milo for his hard work on this) and, while the content hasn’t changed much (for now), we have taken the opportunity to amend the URLs for the documentation, so please go here for the new version of the user manual and here for the Lua documentation. Please see this page if you want to find out how to contribute your own translations. Due to the amount of work involved in translating the documentation we will probably provide further updates over the next month so if your language isn’t supported at the moment, please check back in the new year. ![]() Translated versions of the epub and pdf manuals are also available. The darktable 3.8.0 documentation now includes four translated languages (the first time complete, translated documentation has been made available on the release date), fully integrated into darktable’s help link system. While translated documentation was not quite ready in time for darktable 3.6.0, a few completed translations were quietly introduced to the documentation website alongside the 3.6.1 release. We have also added a new introductory section to act as a guide for new users and those unfamiliar with scene-referred workflow. DocumentationĪs is becoming the norm now, all new features are fully documented in the latest version of the user manual. The darktable team is proud to announce the second feature release of 2021. ![]()
