Bug#569069: RFP: darktable -- a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Homepage: http://darktable.sourceforge.net/
License: GPLv3

Description from the homepage:
darktable is a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers: it
manages your digital negatives in a database and lets you view them
through a zoomable lighttable. it also enables you to develop raw
images and enhance them.

this project tries to fill the gap between the many excellent existing
free raw converters and image management tools (such as ufraw or
f-spot). The user interface is built around efficient caching of image
metadata and mipmaps, all stored in a database. the user will always
be able to interact, even if the full resolution image is not yet
loaded.

all editing is fully non-destructive and only operates on cached image
buffers for display. the full image is only converted during export.
the frontend is written in gtk+/cairo, the database uses sqlite3, raw
image loading is done using libraw, hdr, exr and low dynamic range are
supported through imagemagick (magickcore). the core operates
completely on floating point values, so darktable can not only be used
for photography but also for scientifically acquired images or output
of renderers (high dynamic range).

darktable is released under the terms of the gnu general public
license version 3 or later.

The source includes a debian/ directory and instructions on how to
build the package. The instructions are written for Ubuntu, but I
managed to build it on Sid by just changeing the dependency on
libexiv2 from libexiv2-5 to libexiv2-6.
