The lighttable is now usable on 4K and 5K monitors.

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. A brand new GUI, more modern, fully redesigned and customizable via GTK+ CSS rules.The announcement and release notes for this new release can be found here:Īmong the new major features (the list is huge): This makes darktable 3.0 a more than major version, justifying the direct transition from version 2.6.x to version 3.0.

After many evolutions in 2018, 2019 has seen many very unexpected changes in darktable, both in its user interface and in its internal mechanisms. In addition, the operating efficiency of this method is high.Following the tradition, darktable 3.0 has been released for Christmas.

Examples show that this method is a comparatively ideal surface inspection technique, since it is able to overcome the following shortcomings of the method based on a light-cylinder model: highlight-lines have to be correlated with the datum light source, and the inspection results cannot reflect the surface fairness of curvature acutely diversified regions. Finally, a continuous highlight-line cluster passing through those highlight-dots is fitted by using cubic Hermite interpolation. Secondly, based on the distance function corresponding to the light-strip model proposed in this article, a series of highlight-dots on the surface are obtained by seeking points of intersection between the distance function and different planes. Firstly, a light-strip including the axial line of the light-cylinder is taken to replace the light-cylinder, so that all beams are located in the same light source plane. A method for surface inspection named light-strip model-based highlight-line technique is proposed.
