Darkroom Photo Editing App Gets Histogram

The Darkroom photo editing app has been updated with a Histogram.

The Darkroom Histogram is finally here in all its colorful, curvy glory! We obsessed over these curves endlessly to create a histogram that was easy to use that goes beyond just a graph of numbers. Our primary innovation here are the rich, verbose clipping indicators. Instead of abstract shapes that have no meaning, we show you contextual words that guide you through the histogram-driven editing process. We spent a lot of time making sure you see the right thing, at the right time, and in the right context.




What's New in This Version:
● Histogram
- Easily spot and fix exposure and color problems with your photos objectively, in a way that eye-sight alone isn't suited for.
- Accessible either from the (…) action menu by selecting Show Histogram, or in Settings.
- To hide, simply swipe it off-screen to the right.
- On iPad, the Histogram is on by default on top of the tools.

● Clipping Warnings
- Objectively see pure black and pure white and know with certainty that you have fully utilized your tonal range.

● Clipping Overlay
- We also indicate where those clipped pixels are by highlighting the purple white ones in red, and the pure black pixels in blue.

● Blacks & Whites Tools
- Easily stretch your darks towards true black, and your lights towards true white. To help fix those shots that looked a tad flat and washed out, with a lack of true white or black.


● Curves
- We now show you the curves of all edited channels in each channel. This means less switching to see or match what edits you had made in any of your other channels.

● Enhancements:
- Added a check-mark to the RAW/JPG switch sheet.
- Improved the color contrast of the tool area background color and blur.
- Fixed a problem with adding a space before hashtags if we where already using a 5-dot prefix.
- Fixed some layout issues.
- Fixed an issue that would consolidate Albums when it shouldn't.
