darktable 2.4 is a massive update that incorporates numerous new features, but the biggest of them all is support for the Microsoft Windows operating systems. While there’s no printing support and a few bugs and limitations are still present, users can now run darktable on their Windows PCs. darktable 2.4 comes with a new module for haze removal, a new X-Trans demosaicing algorithm called Frequency Domain Chroma, support for loading floating point HDR DNGs and Fujifilm’s compressed RAF RAW files, undo support for masks, more intelligent grouping of undo steps, as well as a new local laplacian mode for the local contrast module.
