Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

darktable v5.4.1

👉 Free, open-source RAW photo workflow and non-destructive image editor.

darktable is a powerful, non-destructive photography workflow application and RAW developer that helps you import, organize, edit, and export large photo collections. Designed as a “lighttable” for managing your library and a “darkroom” for development, it provides professional-grade tools like color management, GPU-accelerated processing (OpenCL), tethered shooting support for some cameras, and a flexible export system for everything from local files to web galleries.




Features:
Non-destructive editing throughout the complete workflow; original images are never modified.
Takes full advantage of raw processing: all darktable core functions operate on 4×32-bit floating-point pixel buffers, enabling SSE instructions for performance gains.
GPU-accelerated image processing with OpenCL support (runtime detection and enabling) for lightning-fast operations.
Professional color management with automatic display profile detection on most systems and built-in ICC profile support for sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ, and linear RGB color spaces.
Cross-platform support: runs on Linux, macOS (MacPorts), BSD, Windows, and Solaris 11 (GNOME).
Advanced filtering and sorting using tags, star ratings, color labels, and flexible database queries across all image metadata.
Broad image format support including standard, raw, and high dynamic range formats such as JPEG, CR2, NEF, HDR, PFM, and RAF.
Zero-latency, zoomable user interface powered by multi-level software caching for a fluid user experience.
Tethered shooting support with camera control and live view for selected camera brands.
Multilingual interface with translations into more than a dozen languages (availability varies by release).
Powerful export system supporting Piwigo web albums, disk storage, 1:1 copies, email attachments, and simple HTML-based web galleries.
Export options include low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), 16-bit formats (PPM, TIFF), and linear high dynamic range formats (PFM, EXR).
Reliable preservation of development settings using both XMP sidecar files and a fast internal database; all Exif data is read and written via libexiv2.
Automation of repetitive tasks through Lua scripting support.

Supported operating systems:
• Windows (64-bit)
• macOS 13.5 (Ventura) or higher
• Linux (community packages; e.g., Debian 12, Fedora 39/40, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Ubuntu 22.04–24.04)

Supported languages:
Czech, German, Spanish (European), Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Slovenian, Albanian, Swedish, Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional)

darktable’s lighttable mode showing a collection.
Notice how the collection module (left panel) is used to narrow down a bunch of images by using different metadata attributes. In the left panel we have the image information module currently expanded. It shows you information such as focal length, exposure, resolution about the image you are currently hovering.



darktable’s darkroom mode with an image opened.
The left panel offers you information about the processed image and your editing history. Beside that the snapshot module can be found there – useful to compare the image (or parts of it) before and after a change in the process values – as shown here. In this example the powerful color zones module has been used to change the green hue of the leaf into orange. You can also see the mask manager and color picker with a live sample on the left. Notice also the top and bottom toolbars – you can switch the view there (top right corner) or assign color labels or rating directly to the opened image.



darktable’s darkroom mode, sharpening an image.
Yet another screenshot of the darkroom mode. Here you can see both the tone curve module and our equalizer in action. While the first is used to increase the contrast by changing the lightness the equalizer is here used with its “sharpen” preset that enhances the local contrasts. At the bottom you see the filmstrip allowing you to quickly switch between the images included in your current collection.



darktable’s darkroom mode, split toning an image.
This time, the top and bottom panels are collapsed to safe some screen space. Here we are giving the image a chocolate brownish tint with the split toning module using one of the default presets.



darktable’s map mode.
In darktable’s map mode you can geo tag your images by placing them on a map via drag and drop. On the right you can select between different map providers, like OpenStreetMap, Google and a few more.



darktable’s print mode.
In print mode you can prepare your images for printing, telling darktable where to put it on the paper. Notice that here a pseudo PDF printer is selected, but of course all printers supported by CUPS can be used.



Changes:
v5.4.1 02-05-26
Fixed wrong handling of scaling factor during multi-preset export.
Fixed missing help URL for the AgX module.
Fixed wrong handling of overwrite if changed in export.
Fixed images exported with wrong settings when using multi-preset export.
Fixed RAW-specific auto-applied preset being applied to non-RAW images.
Fixed subtle color casts in bayer dual demosaicers.
Fixed loading some Olympus ORF files (possible crash/memory corruption when parsing a highlight-preservation Exif tag).
Fixed mask support in scale pixels module.
Fixed a possible workspace crash due to non-deterministic workspace ordering read from disk.
Restricted allowed tags list in metadata editor preferences to user-editable tags.
Fixed thumbnail info update in overlays/tooltips when using metadata variables.
Fixed possible standstill while discarding history on fast systems.
Fixed possible crash in Color Equalizer module GUI initialization.
Fixed culling layout issue where switching to darkroom sometimes failed with an error message.
Adjusted styles module UI in darkroom to avoid a confusing/ignored duplicate-creation checkbox (now hidden).
Fixed resets to default OpenCL per-device setting.
Fixed possibly outdated metadata when returning from darkroom (e.g., width/height variables after crop).
Fixed missing thumbnail overlay updates when assigning tags with $(CATEGORY[n,m]) variables.
Fixed curvature slider jump when used on the mask manager.
Fixed crash when mounting a camera due to locale; mounting now uses the C locale.
