B<darktable> is a digital photography workflow application for B<Linux>
21
and B<Mac OS X> in the lines of B<Adobe Lightroom> and B<Apple Aperture>.
23
The application is designed to ease editing and consistent processing of large
24
photo sessions and provides a easy to use digital light-table and a set
25
of sophisticated postprocessing tools.
27
Most processing is done in 32-bit floating point per channel mode in device independent
28
B<CIE L*a*b*> color space. B<darktable> is also fully color managed, which gives
29
you full control over the look of the photos.
31
The application relies on a modern plug-in architecture thus making it easy for
32
3rd party developers to extend the existing capabilities of the application.
33
All light-table and darkroom features are implemented as plug-ins, so you can
34
create your plug-ins reusing existing code.

40
=item B<IMG_1234.CR2 or /path/to/load/>
42
Loads the given image in darkroom mode, or imports the given folder.
46
Enable job queue debugging. If you redirect darktables output to B<control.log> and
47
call B<./tools/create_control_svg.sh control.log>, you will get a nice B<control.svg>
48
with a visualization of the threads' work.
52
This will give you a lot of debugging info about the mipmap cache for light table mode. If
53
compiled in debug mode, this will also tell you where in the code a certain buffer has
58
Use this for performance tweaking your darkroom modules. It will rdtsc-measure the
59
runtimes of all plugins and print them to stdout.
63
Enable all debugging output.
65
=item B<--library override.db>
67
Uses override.db instead of the gconf/darktablerc specified library file. Should be an absolute path.
69
=item B<--disable-opencl>
71
For opencl builds only. Disables GPU computing at runtime. Useful to check
72
for bugs in our opencl code and to avoid buggy drivers on certain machines.

The project was started by Johannes Hanika in early 2009 to fill the gap
189
(or, rather, a black hole) of a digital photography workflow tool on Linux.
