Sorry to fill your inboxes with 'fluff' but I am so grateful for such a wonderful piece of software. Thanks to all involved in the darktable project. I am looking forward to loading the new version in the next couple of days.

[darktable-dev] darktable 4.4.0 released
We're proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 4.4.0!

You are strongly advised to take a backup first. Important note: to make sure that darktable can keep on supporting the raw file format for your camera, *please* read [this post](https://discuss.pixls.us/t/raw-samples-wanted/5420?u=lebedevri) on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have the *full* raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license! Since darktable 4.2: - 2700 commits to darktable+rawspeed - 813 pull requests handled - 97 issues closed _Please note that the darktable documentation is not currently complete for release 4.4 and contributions are greatly appreciated. Please see the [project documentation](https://github.com/darktable-org/dtdocs#contributing) for more information on how to contribute._ ## The Big Ones The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable 4.4. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual changes (where available). - It is now possible to define multiple automatically-applied presets against a single processing module. Each preset after the first will be added to a new module instance immediately after the first instance in the pipeline. To better visualise which module instance corresponds to which preset, the module label will be automatically set to the name of any preset that matches the current module's parameters. If you subsequently alter those parameters, the label will be cleared, unless its parameters match to another preset, in which case it will be changed to the name of the matched preset. If the module label has been hand edited it will never be updated automatically. A new option (preferences > darkroom > automatically update module name) has been introduced to allow this functionality to be disabled. - The default parameters of some processing modules have been reworked to allow them to be more easily used in copy/paste, presets and styles. - Many modules have default parameters based on image metadata or current workflow, for example: - exposure: in a scene-referred workflow, the exposure is adjusted using the Exif exposure compensation value, - denoise (profiled): set based on camera and ISO, - lens correction: set based on camera, lens, focal length, focus distance, - base curve: set based on the camera maker, - white balance: set based on Exif metadata, - orientation: set based on Exif metadata, - color calibration: set based on Exif metadata For all of these modules it is now possible to paste settings while ensuring that the proper image metadata is used to set the module parameters. This is achieved by selecting the "Reset" column in the preset and style dialogs, which makes the module behave as if its reset button has been clicked. When creating or editing presets, a new option, "reset all module parameters to their default values", has been added. Choose this option to auto-add modules to matching images while retaining their default parameters (including any set based on image metadata). This functionality has allowed us to clean up a number of module-specific hacks that previously achieved similar functionality (albeit in a more limited way). - The default workflow configuration option (preferences > processing > auto-apply pixel workflow defaults) has now been adjusted to incorporate the previous chromatic adaptation workflow setting and to include the new sigmoid module. Options are now as follows: - scene-referred (filmic) -- default - scene-referred (sigmoid) - display-referred (legacy) - None With these new options, the color calibration module and scene-referred module order will be automatically applied for all workflows except "display-referred (legacy)", which will continue to use only the white balance module for chromatic adaptation. The value in brackets represents the default module used for tone mapping (filmic/sigmoid). In the legacy mode, base curve will
