A new module 3D lut, for handling 3D RGB Lut transformations (PNG Hald-CLUT and Cube files are supported).
Lighttable cache upgrade#
For images processed with darktable 2.6 or earlier, it is possible to upgrade the module to the new processing algorithms via a checkbox in the module. In most cases only one instance is sufficient. It is thus no longer necessary to use the two chroma and luma instances. It now offers high-performance default settings in most cases. The module denoise (profiled) has been greatly improved.They have modes for linked and independent RGB channels. It brings an easy and safe way to remap tones locally, performing a quick zone-based dodging and burning using the zone system of Ansel Adams. A new module tone equalizer has been created to merge the features of zone system, shadows and highlights, and (local) tone mapping modules in a scene-referred RGB space.The old filmic module is now deprecated and only available on images where it was previously used. This new version should be easier to use and it will reduce color casts. A new filmic RGB module which, like the previous module filmic, is designed to replace base curve, shadows and highlights and other global tone-mapping modules.

Lighttable cache code#
darktable 3.0 also brings many code optimizations for CPU and SSE paths. The lighttable is now usable on 4K and 5K monitors. A quite extensive rewrite of the lighttable view (including the filmstrip in darkroom view) has been made to greatly improve the overall performance.A new timeline view, making it possible to select a date range to display related images.

Finally, it provides a comparison mode of images often requested. The number of displayed images can be set by the user, and they can be navigated with the mouse wheel and keyboard. It displays a fixed number of consecutive images starting from the first selected (or a set of selected images), and allows you to pan & zoom them. This version already comes with several themes. There is no more size, color, fixed position in the Gtk C darktable code.
