Once you've loaded your photos, you can choose the light table or darkroom to make any changes. For example, the G icon reminds you of the G in Google, but the G stands for "collapse grouped images." Since there's no File menu available, this is a must. You will find many small icons in the main window that you can discover by mousing over them. We noticed GIF images aren't supported, and there's no right-click option when importing.


You'll begin by importing or collecting images from folders, cameras, and a couple of dozen other possibilities. See the official announcement here, find the current darktable feature list here, and download darktable 2.4.0 on Github.Darktable is an Open Source photography workflow application and raw developer intended to be a virtual light table and darkroom for photographers.ĭarktable includes hints when you first run the app, which you may find helpful. But overall we are confident that it’s quite usable already and hope you will enjoy it.Īs well as being Windows-compatible for the first time, darktable's latest version (2.4.0) brings with it updates, new features and bug fixes. At the moment it’s still lacking a few features (for example there is no printing support), has a few limitations (tethering requires special drivers to be installed) and comes with its own set of bugs (TIFF import and export doesn’t support non-ASCII characters in file names). We finally ported darktable to Windows and intend to support it in the future. Making light of the delay, darktable took to their official website to exclaim: “Hell froze over.”

The graphics editor is aimed at “non-destructive raw photo postproduction,” with a particular focus on handling a large number of images for a smoother workflow. The open-source software can now be used on Windows, despite being Mac and Linux operable since as far back as 2009.
