Calibrating Cameras

There are several aspects that go into fully supporting a camera in darktable to make your photos look as good as possible out of the box, starting with file format support(requiring test images from our users). Once your camera is functional in darktable, you can submit white balance presets, noise profiles, and more. See Camera Support on the development wiki for details.

Coding

Write image operation modules! Submit patches! Help to track down bugs by supplying backtraces! See the GitHub wiki for more details.
