+Darktable 4.0.0 is Here with a Revamped UI and Improved Color Saturation
+======
+darktable 4.0.0 release is here as a major upgrade with new features, simplified UI, and other enhancements.
+
+![darktable][1]
+
+Recently, the developers unveiled new stable release as an upgrade over its 3.8.x series.
+
+The latest upgrade is about new features, bug fixes, and significant changes.
+
+### darktable 4.0: What’s New?
+
+With darktable 4.0, we have a lot of feature additions and some impactful rework on the user interface.
+
+Let me mention the key highlights here:
+
+**Note:** This is a major upgrade with a new library and configuration, not compatible with the older version. So, you need to take a backup of your work before proceeding.
+
+#### Color and Exposure Mapping
+
+Within the exposure and color calibration modules, you now get the ability to define and save a target color/exposure for the color pickers.
+
+This should help you match source objects in the image and ensure the color consistency of an object across a batch of photos.
+
+#### UI Rework
+
+![darktable][2]
+
+The user interface has undergone a revamp to improve the look/feel. Starting with the default theme being changed to “**Elegant Grey**“.
+
+Overall, padding, margins, color, alignment, and icons, everything has received a makeover. New collapsible sections (channel mixer rgb, exposure, color calibration) have also been added to make the UI cleaner, and more accessible.
+
+You will find numerous subtle changes for a better layout.
+
+#### Performance Changes
+
+Several optimizations have been added to the release while simplifying the user preferences.
+
+You also get to change the performance configuration without requiring to restart darktable.
+
+#### Improved Color Saturation
+
+![darktable][3]
+
+The addition of Filmic v6 (a new color science) helps for more saturated colors, especially in blue skies.
+
+Also, color-grading should be safer considering it can be recovered in the least-destructive way, as mentioned in the announcement post. In addition to that, a new information color space has been designed for artistic saturation changes.
+
+Overall, you should be happy about this release’s refinements to the saturation control.
+
+#### Other Changes
+
+Some other notable changes include:
+
+* A new “guided Laplacian” method has been added to the highlight reconstruction module.
+* Global color picker tool improvements
+* A new contrast parameter
+* A new collection filters module
+* Support for EXR 16-bit (half) float export has been added.
+
+You may go through all the technical details in its [official announcement post][4].
+
+### Download darktable 4.0.0
+
+You can get the latest version using the Flatpak package on [Flathub][5]. When writing this, the Snap package wasn’t updated.
+
+In either case, you can also choose to use the tar.xz file available in its [GitHub releases section][6].
