the frontend is written in gtk+/cairo, the database uses sqlite3, raw image loading is done using libraw, hdr, exr and low dynamic range are supported through imagemagick (magickcore). The full image is only converted during export. The user will always be able to interact, even if the full resolution image is not yet loaded.Īll editing is fully non-destructive and only operates on cached image buffers for display. The user interface is built around efficient caching of image metadata and mipmaps, all stored in a database. This project tries to fill the gap between the many excellent existing free raw converters and image management tools (such as UFRaw or F-Spot). it also enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

Darktable is a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers: it manages your digital negatives in a database and lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable.
