2026-10-03 03:10:48 +00:00 | 78 commits to master since this releaseCamera profiles and more colour: raw files now render through the DNG camera profile they carry, a profile can be copied for every photograph from the same camera, and a new Vivid section of presets gives a richer starting point. A zoomed view now fills the viewport.
Raw files render through their camera profile. A DNG written by Lightroom or Adobe DNG Converter carries a camera profile — Adobe Standard, for example — whose tables place each hue where Adobe put it for that camera. DarkRoom used to ignore them and render through the colour matrix alone. It now applies them, after exposure and before the other adjustments. A new Camera Profile control can switch the profile off, and Look Amount sets the strength of its look from 0 to 200 %. A profile is applied without being an edit, so an untouched photograph still stores nothing.
The info panel says which profile is in use. Under the lens line: "Adobe Standard · in the file", the profile file it came from, "off", or "No camera profile · matrix only" — the ordinary case for a camera's own raw format.
One DNG's profile can serve every photograph from the same camera. When a DNG's profile may be copied and none is installed for that camera, the info panel offers "Use this profile for every Canon EOS 6D →". It saves the profile beside the app's data, and that camera's other raws, CR2s included, use it from the next time they are opened. A .dcp file put in the profiles folder by hand is picked up the same way. No profile is shipped with the app. The profiles folder is per device and does not sync yet, so a photograph can render with a profile on one device and without it on another; the info line says which.
Vivid presets. A new Vivid section: Vivid, Vivid strong, Vivid landscape, Vivid warm and Vivid portrait. They work on every photograph and change only the settings they name, so a corrected exposure or white balance stays. Landscape and portrait work individual colour bands, so foliage and sky get richer while skin does not.
A profile is not the same as Lightroom's colour. Measured on the library's own files, Adobe Standard's tables slightly lower overall saturation, because that profile was tuned to sit under Lightroom's default tone curve, which DarkRoom does not apply. The tables fix where colours sit; the Vivid presets are what bring the richer colour.
A zoomed view fills the viewport. Zooming used to keep the photograph's shape, so a portrait zoomed on a landscape screen stayed a narrow strip with empty space either side. Each side now shows as much of the photograph as the window holds at that magnification.
Every DNG that carries a profile looks different from before. Previews already made keep the old look until the photograph is rendered again. Update tablet and desktop together: the catalog's schema is unchanged, but two versions render the same DNG differently.
The APK, the desktop binary, the Windows installer and SHA256SUMS are built by CI from this tag's commit.
