I’ve just installed it (I’ve got a mac, MacOs Catalina 10.15.7) and in the tone curve section I don’t see any line, the grey square is empty, and I don’t even see the histogram… the rectangle is all grey… Does anyone know the reason of this problem and how to solve it?

Try going into preferences > general and un-ticking the “modify selected theme with CSS tweaks below” box.

Did anything change to the denoise (profiled) module? i have the impression that on some pictures. with out of the box settings (with the profile for my Nikon 5200), it blurs the image a little bit, which it didn’t use to do. I especially notice it in landscapes with dense bushes in the background

7

Denosing has been reworked recently. Its covered in the release notes and blog post.

I’m not talking about the changes in 3.4.0 - they where clearly an improvement. In 3.4.1, profiled denoise seems to add a bit of blur with settings that wouldn’t have before.

Taking into account that the pandemia is still with us, can we hope (like in 2020) to have a new dt version both in the middle and at the end of the year?

10

It will not be because pandemic, but yes, it has been set that now darktable will have 2 releases per year. If of course, we have enough new features for that. 3.6 will be out early july.

Hello. This new version is not updating changes to photos. I edit a photo, but when I export to jpg the changes done in darktable do not apply to exported. Anyone else with this issue? Thanks.

12

Welcome, Artur.
Sorry if I sound too obvious, but are you sure you’re looking at the exported, not the out-of-camera jpg?
By default, darktable saves the exported files into a darktable exported folder (it creates it if it doesn’t exist) inside the folder you imported. So, if you imported images from folder \raws, the exported files will be inside \raws\darktable exported.
Just in case, take a look at “Exporting images” in the darktable usermanual
and
“Export selected” in the darktable usermanual

Thanks. No, not that. I have that setting changed, so all exports come to my home directory (i’m using Linux version). Also I’ve noticed this only happens with photos previously edited in Darktable. New photos not affected (with existing xml files. Even if I delete the xml file, behaviour is the same. Quite strange.

Well, now I don’t have a clue.
To start eliminating possible causes, you could rename your ~/.config/darktable folder to something else (after exiting darktable).
Then start darktable again. This will make it start from fresh, no existing library, no nothing.
Then import the problematic images and try exporting them.
This is safe, your current library will be inside the renamed folder, which you can rename back to ~/darktable anytime you wish.
EDIT: Any chance you’re executing more than one darktable version using the same library?
