This update introduces four major improvements to Darkroom that enhance your workflow, the design, and the precision and range of our tools: 1. Bringing our Liquid Glass design update from iPhone to Mac and iPad 2. Revamping our white balance tools to make them more accurate and useful, including a new Auto Balance feature 3. Introducing an entirely new Curves tool, with unconstrained adjustments and new HSL curves 4. Adding a new photo strip in Preview mode that includes our Flag and Reject workflow features, making them much more accessible and efficient The iPhone was recently updated with a fresh coat of paint, adopting the latest design guidelines for Liquid Glass. This update brings that same fresh coat of paint to Mac and iPad, ensuring that the app feels at home on the latest versions of iPadOS and macOS. The new Curves tool includes two major updates: 1. Unrestrained point adjustments. By default, points along the curve are fixed to their track as before, but you can now drag horizontally to unsnap points and adjust the curve with more freedom. Points on the curve also float unless you adjust them manually. This makes it much easier to create natural, smooth curves with greater creative freedom. 2. We've added several new curves, including Saturation vs Saturation, Hue vs Saturation, and Luminance vs Saturation. These allow you to add a new dimension to your adjustments. This is particularly powerful for anyone who enjoys creating presets, as you now have a much richer set of tools for mimicking film effects or creating more interesting looks that weren't previously possible in Darkroom. The new White Balance tool adds a colour picker and an Auto mode, making it easier to correct missed white balance in your photos. Temperature and Tint have also been updated to provide a wider range of adjustments for correcting badly exposed images. This is particularly helpful for RAW photos, where it can be easier to capture an image with a significantly incorrect white balance setting. Finally, the new photo strip in the iPhone layout will feel familiar, given how similar it looks to the one in the Photos app. It makes navigating your library while previewing images much easier, and lets us move the Flag and Reject review actions into a more prominent position, making them easier to find and tap.

This update includes bug fixes and performance improvements to the editing experience. * You can now duplicate a mask without inverting it * Exporting a photo as a copy no longer adds it to the album the original was in * Improved mask control rendering so they stay visible on white backgrounds * Updates to monetization flows to better clarify trial status

We’ve refreshed the UI throughout with the latest Liquid Glass look introduced in iOS 26 and refined for iOS 27. It feels lighter, more immersive, and removes a lot of small friction across the app. * The Library interface now features a beautiful Liquid Glass Tab bar, making it easier to jump between albums and your Recents. * The sliders and tool area also received a design refresh, with many details throughout. * The Library photo grid can now be resized with Fit and Fill modes (Try pinching with your finger to resize the grid). * We’ve updated the AI model used to generate Depth masks, so they now deliver much higher fidelity and accuracy than before. * Depth, Luminance, and Color masks now include a new Range tool with customizable falloffs for more accurate, refined selections. * Many small details and refinements to make the experience beautiful, polished, and compelling.

Improvements and fixes - Fixed a commonly reported photo export issue where Batch actions or exporting from Library could produce incorrectly edited images, such as overexposed, underexposed, or exports with no edits applied at all. - Fixed a UI glitch that could appear often when opening the Frames tool, or when double-tapping a slider knob to reset that specific adjustment. - Improved the import experience end to end. Fixed bugs that could cause imports to stall or even crash when importing large photo batches. - Fixed an issue on macOS where importing photos via Drag and Drop into Library didn’t work correctly.

Fixes - Resolved rendering glitches caused by Clarity when exporting RAW photos from your Library or using Batch Actions, so your exports look consistent and accurate. - Fixed a thumbnail issue where RAW+JPG photos could appear overexposed or underexposed after edits, so previews match the adjusted photo.

Extended Metadata now goes beyond viewing. Darkroom+ subscribers can edit important photo details right in the app, from capture date, time, and location to deeper camera and lens information stored in EXIF metadata. • Export quality and consistency improved across masks, clarity, color grading, curves, and framed or cropped images. • Fixed issues where the Histogram showed inaccurate spikes, causing the clipping indicator to appear. • Improved video controls so they stay visible while working with video. • Fixed duplicate Window menu items and improved command handling. • Fixed crashes related to shared preset links, closing the editor, generating preset thumbnails, and working with masks.

Fixes and improvements in this version: - Clarity now works correctly with Masks. Previously, using Masks could prevent Clarity from being applied as expected when exporting in batches. - Batch editing is now more reliable with Masks. Exporting multiple photos from the Photo Grid after applying edits in batches should no longer fail or act inconsistently. - Reduced memory usage when exporting RAW photos, helping exports run smoother, especially with large files or multi-photo workflows.

Fixes: - Fixed a bug that prevented Subject, Sky, Teeth, and other image masks from rendering correctly

Fixes - Boosted stability in export by minimizing memory use. - Resolved issue causing incorrect colors on first export after app launch for Color, Color Grading, and Curves. - Fixed too-dark exports for RAW photos edited in Darkroom after being saved by Darkroom or other apps. - Corrected rendering issue on Macs with older AMD Radeon (Polaris) GPUs causing color errors.

This update resolves color rendering issues with highlights, shadows, bloom, and halation, especially for RAW photos.

This update resolves a crash when using the Frame tool with RAW photos and issues with loading plain images in the same process.

This is the first of many updates aimed at reducing memory usage during exports, helping prevent crashes on older devices when exporting large photos.
