Darktable is a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers: an open
|
|
source photography workflow application and raw image developer. It manages
|
|
digital negatives in a database and lets one view them through a zoomable
|
|
lighttable. It also enables one to develop raw images and enhance them.
|
|
|
|
Darktable tries to fill the gap between many excellent existing free raw
|
|
converters and image management tools (such as UFRaw or F-Spot). The user
|
|
interface is built around efficient caching of image metadata and mipmaps,
|
|
all stored in a database. The user will always be able to interact, even
|
|
if the full resolution image is not yet loaded.
|
|
|
|
All editing is fully non-destructive and only operates on cached image
|
|
buffers for display. The full image is only converted during export. The
|
|
frontend is written in Gtk+/Cairo, the database uses SQLite3, raw image
|
|
loading is done using libraw and rawspeed, high-dynamic range and standard
|
|
image formats such as JPEG are also supported. 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).
