Darktable has features such as crop and rotate, base curve, exposure controls, highlight reconstruction, demosaic, white balance, invert, fill light, levels, tone curve, zone system, tone mapping, overexposed, velvia, channel mixer, color contrast, color zones, color transfer, vibrance, input/output/display color profile management, sharpen, equalizer, denoise (non-local means), denoise (bilateral filter), lens correction, spot removal, chromatic aberrations, raw denoise, hot pixels, watermark, framing, split toning, vignetting, soften, grain, highpass, lowpass, monochrome, lowlight vision, shadows and highlights, bloom, colorize and graduated density, importing/exporting, scripting and multi-mode histogram, built-in ICC profiles, GPU acceleration (based on OpenCL), and supports most common image formats.
darktable includes 47 image adjustment plugins which are divided into basic group (plugins for simple well-known photo adjustment operations), tone group (plugins related to contrast and lighting), color group(plugins related to hue and saturation), correction group (plugins for repairing visual imperfections) and effect group (artistic postprocessing plugins). Darktable’s smooth user interface is built around efficient caching of image metadata and mipmaps which are all stored in a database and produces high quality output with lightable, darkroom, tethering and a map view. darktable can be controlled by scripts written in Lua version 5.2 where Lua can be used to define actions which darktable should perform whenever a specified event is triggered.
