Pushing was not a thing to simulate. It was measured data being thrown away: Double-X and 2302 each ship five characteristic curves, one per development time, and this shipped the 6.5-minute column and discarded four. All five now ship and interpolate. The axis is real. Double-X runs 4 to 12 minutes, and across it the average gradient goes 0.472 to 1.034 while Dmax goes 1.19 to 2.56. The control is in stops, because that is what a photographer means, and one stop is a factor of about 1.41 in time. That mapping is checked rather than assumed: against Double-X's own axis it lands within 2% of the 9-minute column for +1, and near 12 minutes for +2, which are the times the datasheet gives for exactly that. There is a test. **Pushing must not recover shadow detail, and this does not.** Across the whole measured range the speed point moves about a third of a stop while the gradient doubles; three stops under mid-grey, density goes from 0.008 to 0.035, which is still nothing. Developing longer multiplies what was already recorded and cannot record what never hit the film. A push built as added exposure or global contrast brightens those shadows instead and looks convincing until someone who shoots film sees it, so that property has a test of its own. Interpolated in *log* time, because development is multiplicative: 4 to 5 minutes is the same amount of push as 9 to 12, and interpolating linearly would bunch the control at one end. Clamped at both ends, because past the published range there is no data and extrapolating a contrast curve invents an emulsion nobody tested. A stock measured at one process ignores the control entirely rather than inventing a curve for it -- Portra 800's pushes are separate *measured* profiles, which is the honest way to offer those. Costs nothing per pixel and changes no shader. The curves are a per-stock table, so the interpolation happens on the CPU at bake time, where choosing a stock and moving its sliders already rebakes. The Vulkan shader is untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
DarkRoom
A cross-platform, non-destructive RAW photo editor for Linux and Android.
Status: early. v0.1 is a remote library viewer — see docs/milestone-v0.1.md.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
Current state
Working: workspace, GPU context and compute pass, adaptive Slint shell, Android cross-compilation of the core crates.
Not yet working: the zero-copy display path. The build currently uploads frames through the CPU, which is exactly what ARCH §6.1 forbids — measured at 96% of frame time at 4K. Replacing it is spike S1, the project's highest priority.
cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
reproduces that measurement.
