Download Darktable 2.6.0
Darktable has released version 2.6.0 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 following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
The Big Ones

- new module to handle duplicates in the darkroom with possibility to add a title, create standard or virgin duplicate, delete duplicate and quickly compare with a duplicate
- new logarithm controls for the tone curve
- new mode for the unbreak profile module
- add mask preview to adjust size, hardness before placing them
- make it possible to change the cropped area in the perspective correction module
- the mask blur has been complemented with a guided-filter to fine tune it (this works on RGB and Lab color space).
