New features in the darktable 1.4 release

Corrections:
* Parametric masks were present in darktable 1.2 by selecting a blend mode then changing the blend dropdown to "only, if...".
* Offline mode caches the full RAW file in ~/cache/darktable then writes back the xmp file to the main storage location when it becomes available again.
* Webp is not built by default but is available as a compile-time option.

Running through the new features in the darktable 1.4 release. darktable is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer.

Just to mention, that local caching is not about caching thumbnails, but allowing users using external HDD to simply select the files they want to cache locally for working on them when the HDD is disconnected.

DT copies the chosen photos to ~/cache/darktable and will take care to write back any companion xmp file to the external HDD when possible.

The cached files have a white dot on their thumbnail in Lighttable mode

Good job, Robert Hutton. Great intro. Thanks for sharing!

First of all, great video! Just a small correction: darktable 1.2.3 supports parametric masks (you even say so yourself in the beginning). When you choose a blend mode it has a blendif module that is the same as the parametric masks.

Darktable is excellent. I switch between it and RawTherapee depending on my needs.

Hi, A nice video. Do the new features allow to whitening teeth and skin smoothing? If yes could you make a video about it?
