darktable 4.2.0 released

To my taste, 0.125 was too small, 0.3 is a little too big :slightly_smiling_face:
I vote for 0.2 or so.

Hi , I got two questions:

Is 4.2 already in the OBS repos?
Will it install “over” the existing dt, keeping the preferences or will I start at zero?

Yeah, stupid stuff, but I am a user not a developer ;o)

4.2 is already on OBS except for 22.10 (see thread on why)

Thank you.

Very good release!
I quite enjoy it. The new highlight reconstruction “inpaint opposed” works very well for me.
I also very much like the properties within the mask manager.

One suggestion if I may.
In retouch module - when I select active blur and brush (in continuous mode - ctrl+click) - the transparency control does not appear in the mask manager - properties.

It would be very nice if it can be added.

The transparency control does appear if the mode is not continuous.

PopOS 22.04

Those retouch shapes aren’t handled with mask manager …

I am not entirely sure about that. But I can see what is happening.

When a brush is selected - after it is released - it moves to the selection arrow (and the opacity appears)

When it is in continuous mode - the brush stays selected and the opacity is missing

Still - it would be very nice to have the opacity present in the properties window - even in continuous mode.

Which cameras are supported? How does it work?

Hi, has anything changed since the release? Is the weblate project updated? I can’t find sigmoid page to be translated… that’s a pity…

The English docs are not done, so it has not been made available to translate. Any help with the English is appreciated.

@paperdigits I’d be glad to help. Where to start? I read the documentation about contributing but it seems to me to tell very little about missing pieces or getting organized…

A bit of a shame that the lens correction now defaults to this embedded data, while the correction done doesn’t seem to be correct. At least switching it back to lensfun seems to get better results.

I can’t seem to figure out how to set lens correction to default to lensfun. Yes i can make a present to auto apply , but then it doesn’t auto detect the lens anymore.

Could you show an example? (And share the raw?)

It might be there is a flaw / bug in the module so worth to check. I can only speak personally for the dng stuff though.

Anyone have had problems with the LUT module? Whenever I load a LUT it will show “Working…” and after a few seconds crash. I really like the new 4.2 release, it’s way faster so I would love to fix this issue which I never had. Am I allowed to post this Pastebin? It’s the log file https://pastebin.com/Euy011RP

Thanks!

@evilgenivs I don’t see a crash in that text. Best place to report a crash is github.

Yes, didn’t see anything myself either. Will do. Thanks!

@paperdigits sorry for @'ing you but is it possible to install an older version of dt and then replace the files that contain camera info so I can support my newer camera?

Have a look at closed PRs that have the documentation pending label in thr main repo.

There are some there for 4.4 now, but the date should be helpful

https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Adocumentation-pending

@elstoc … Right?

Although the 4.2 milestone is no longer selectable, you can still filter on it. Here are the PRs that remain in the to-do list for 4.2: Pull requests · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub.

There’s no point looking at the 4.4 ones yet
