Download Darktable 2.4.2

Darktable has released version 2.4.2 of the open source raw photo editing program of the same name. Darktable is a virtual light box and darkroom for photo editing. It manages digital negatives through a database. The raw photo files are developed by means of so-called sidecar files, where the photos are processed in a non-destructive manner. The software is available for various Linux distributions, macOS and Windows. However, the Windows build is still labeled as experimental marked. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New Features

• Add presets to location search in map mode
• Add timestamps to the output of -d command line switches
• Add a compression level slider to the TIFF export module
• Add native binary NetPNM loading, without using GraphicsMagick
• Add a battery indicator for people running darktable on a laptop. This is not very portable code and disabled by default
• Allow to use /? to show the help message on Windows

Bug fixes

• Fix reading and writing of TIFFs with non-ASCII filenames on Windows
• Ellipsize background job labels when too long
• Hard code D50 white point when exporting to OpenEXR
• Add tootips to the haze removal module
