yes > Will I be able to adjust old modules, or add new modules to old edits? yes, but with reservations. the library.db for the newer dt will not be compatabile with your current version. and the newer version may (probably) have some different module names and newer modules which will make changes to your images in a different manner, but your old edit shoud still appear as now and you should be able to continue to edit them. to be completely safe, when making edits to old images, I would suggest duplicating those images first (within darktable) and working on the duplicates. again, just to be safe. good luck. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
