So what’s new?

  • Metadata is now stored using XMP
  • Darkroom plug-ins are now sorted into ‘basic’, ‘correct’, ‘colour’ and ‘effect’  groupings
  • Four new darkroom plug-ins: zone system, relight, graduated neutral density & watermark
  • Ability to recrop an image without resetting the whole plug-in using ‘Backspace’ button
  • Initial inclusion of a Preferences window
