Software darktable

Simply THANK YOU!!!

The Capture Sharpening has made my Christmas. I just tried it on some images and on most of them the results are awesome. What a change! I am using a MFT camera without AA filter with quite good lenses. Maybe the fact that it is a small sensor with 16Mpx only, makes so much difference.

As for other changes, as an old Filmic user, I have just started using Sigmoid for some of my images images, so moving to AGX may take some time. ;-). Anyway, it looks very promising.

Great thanks again to all persons involved in 5.4 with special emphasis on Capture Sharpening developers.

Since Darktable v5.2.1 I cannot install anymore updates. My specs: Linux Mint C., still using Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

On install | darktable I read :
Ubuntu 22.04, 22.10, 23.04, 23.10, 24.04

But on OBS, I read instead:
“the minimum supported version starts from xUbuntu 23.04”.

So, my question, is DT v5.2.1 still compatible with Ubuntu 22.04, yes or no? I’m confused.

Should I install DT via OBS or differently ?
the update mechanism via repositories is more comfortable for me than to use the terminal.

This is not up to date. The obs page is more up to date.

Its probably pretty safe to upgrade to 24.04 at this point.

thanks for clarifying!

I won’t upgrade Os very soon, therefore my question. I tried out the AppImage version, witch works fine, except for the VRam support. Flatpaks is still missing the GPU optimization, like OpenCL both for DT and Blender, so I wonder why people responsible for packaging pulls such flatpaks online.

That person is me and @hub. It is an upstream flatpak issue and there is nothing we as packagers can do about it. It works for nVidia if you install the nVidia flatpak package.
