Now, we're bringing that same philosophy to library organization: Faster browsing, and easier management than ever before.

• Create Album Right in your Library you'll see a big + button you can tapp on, or drag photos to on iPad.
• Add to Album This works very easily both ways: You can either select photos in Batch and add them to an album, or select an album and tap the big + button to add photos to it.

Thank you to everyone who reported these issues to us on Twitter (@usedarkroom) and via email (feedback@darkroom.co) - Your help in finding these bugs and reporting them helps us ensure a consistently high quality bar.

This update fixes the top two crashes we know about currently. As you may have noticed, we've had a lot of small crash and bugfix updates recently. This is due to the massive size and scope of the recent 4.5 and 4.6 updates. We understand this can be disruptive to your workflow and we apologize for that, and are working hard to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Video Processing

Today we're launching app-wide support for editing videos in Darkroom, available to all our existing and new subscribers.

• Video Processing All management and editing tools work with videos. Videos in Darkroom feel as lightweight as photos. They animate, zoom, crop, autoplay and loop, and every edit is made in realtime. By eliminating all the complexities involved in the traditional video processing process, you can now expand the range of your visual stories without paying a cost in time and effort.
• Cinematic Filters While we were at it we couldn't resist developing a brand new set of 5 Cinematic filters for all your videos. These filters are designed to instantly give your videos a more cinematic look.
• Video Export When exporting video, we provide support for H.264 and HEVC encoding at various bitrates. All bitrates are relative to the original video. The higher the bitrate, the higher the quality, but the larger the file size. All other export options are also supported for videos. This includes removing location metadata, adding watermarks, and copyright.
• Metadata The Metadata Viewer is also rebuilt to provide a faster, more refined loading experience, and making it more visual by adding icons for photo metadata. Now also with support for video metadata. You'll be able to inspect the bitrate, file size, audio & video information, and more.
• Export Progress We also updated our export progress dialog to handle the much longer export sessions, and provide you with more detail on the progress and time remaining. The screen will no longer sleep if left untouched while exporting, and you can now cancel a running export if it's taking too long.

Other Improvements

We rebranded our new subscription package to Darkroom+. If you are an existing subscriber, this change does not affect you in any way, it's just a name-change. For new customers however, we hope this provides a much more concise brand that allows us to communicate more simply and consistently the value we provide.

• Updated the Recents library to now also show your Videos.
• Updated the Screenshots smart album to now also show your Screen Recordings videos.
• Updated the Histogram to work with video, it updates and appears when video is paused.
• Updated the Frames tool to work with video, any time the Frame tool is opened or video is paused the smart colors are updated.
• Updated the Watermark tool, now the center left and right positions rotate the watermark to allign with the edges so that it overlaps less with the photo or video.
• Fixed an issue with cropping that could misplace the watermark.
• Fixed the Viewer background sometimes being white when all chrome was hidden.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when trying to add an asset to an album that didn’t exist.
• Added support for black and white point changes when adjusting filter strength.
• Added 5:7 and 7:5 aspect ratios to the crop tool.

This is just the first step in our video journey, and we wanted to keep it simple and focused. We'd love to hear what you think, what you'd like to see next, so please send us an email or tweet at us on Twitter.

• Fixed several top crashes.
• Reduced the amount of memory the app uses on older devices. This should reduce crashes on those devices. We will continue testing and improving performance on the iPhone 5S, 6S, and other devices that may feel like they have gotten slower with the recent update. Thanks for all your feedback

• Adds support for the new cursor on iPadOS. With a connected trackpad or mouse, you can manage your library and edit your photos faster than ever! We'll be expanding this support in the coming weeks so keep an eye out!
• Reduces the amount of memory the app uses on older devices. This should reduce crashes on those devices. We will continue testing and improving performance on the iPhone 5S, 6S, and other devices that may feel like they have gotten slower with the recent update.

• We re-enabled RAW editing on older devices like iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
• Fixed an issue where loading indicators in the Photo Library had bad positioning.

Fixed several of our top crashers.

• Fixed choosing a frame at export-time not working.

• Fixed a crash that would occur for some in the Photo Library.
• Fixed a crash that would occur for some caused by the Color Tool Color Histogram.

A New Rendering Engine

This update is a major rebuild of Darkroom's rendering engine that dramatically improves the performance, stability, and reliability of your photo editing experience.

Portrait editing is more reliable and accurate, RAW photos are more stable, and every slider, transition, and interaction is smoother. This is the result of a yearlong investment that touched much of the app. Although there aren't any new features, every existing feature is better and faster.

• Depth We rebuilt our depth engine to provide a much more performant and accurate blur editing experiences that matches the Photos app. Now when you open a Portrait photo, we match the simulated aperture that the photo was captured by, and when available, we use the same blend of available depth images to provide a very high quality editable Portrait image that the system camera does.
• RAW For the past year, RAW editing stability has been our top reported issue across all platforms. The bad news was that fixing it would require a massive, yearlong effort. The good news is we did just that. Starting now, the entire end-to-end RAW editing experience is revamped to be much faster, smoother, and more stable.

Other Improvements

• We’ve made the transition into and out-of RAW images much lighter and more smooth, improved the performance of all editing operations, and added support for pixel-level zoom on all RAW images.
• Increased the zoom range 5x allowing you to sport check small regions of the image efficiently.
• The interface is now much more responsive and won’t slow down as you perform more expensive rendering operations.
• Improved the performance of the photo grid, showing higher quality, more accurate thumbnails. No more black tiles!

Thank you to everyone who reported these issues to us on Twitter (@usedarkroom) and via email (feedback@darkroom.co) - Your help in finding these bugs and reporting them helps us ensure a consistently high quality bar.

We can’t wait to share with you all the new features that this work unlocks for us. Stay tuned!

Watermarking, App Icon Picker, Subscriptions

Today’s release of Darkroom includes two new features that people have been asking for a long time: Export Watermark, and an expanded Icon Picker. As you may have gathered from the title, we’re also switching to subscriptions for new users to set ourselves up for success in the next phase of Darkroom’s life.

• App Icon Picker It doesn’t hurt to have a bit of fun now and then :) Those who have been following us for a while know that every year or so we tend to give our brand a big overhaul to reflect major changes to the app. Now you can pick from old favorites or fun new interpretations of our icon.
• Export Watermark Full-featured watermarking tool that allows you to set a text or image watermark, and control its size, location, opacity, and even typeface. More explicit form of protection, particularly in a world dominated by social media where images are often reshared without credit.
• Export Summary Now you can see a short summary of your most important options when exporting a photo, such as export file type and quality, is watermark or copyright metadata protection added etc.

Switch to Subscriptions

If you’ve previously made a purchase, this change does not affect you. This is only for new users. We are switching Darkroom to a subscription for new users, to help set ourselves up for success in the next phase of Darkroom’s life. We are focused in 2020 on releasing a lot of fantastic new premium features that will supercharge your editing and management experience. As we embark on this new phase, we need to ensure that we have a healthy business that can support its continued development and the investments necessary to get there. Read our announcement for more details.

Your purchases are now synced between devices that are logged in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.

Darkroom Histogram

Our primary innovation here are the rich, verbose clipping indicators.
