For my third GSOC task, I’ve replaced darktable’s old bottom-bar colorpicker with a new one one that acts as a module in darktable mode. The new picker adds some features over the old version, which some of you will hopefully find helpful. Specifically, we have four new additions:
- You can now choose point or area color picking modes.
- I’ve added a simple storage system for color samples.
- The big new addition is live samples, which will allow you to mark an area or point in your image and keep updated as the color at that location changes.
- When picking, the image histogram will only display the area or point that you have selected.
Now, lets take a quick tour of the new interface. This is more or less what you should see initially.
