About

Open source RAW developer and photography workflow app with a lighttable, darkroom and non-destructive editing.

darktable is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer, created for photographers by photographers. It works as a virtual lighttable and darkroom: it manages digital negatives in a database, lets you browse them in a zoomable lighttable and develop RAW images in the darkroom.

Editing is non-destructive all the way through its pipeline, so the original image is never modified. It includes professional color management and GPU accelerated processing, and it is free to use as open source software.
