Darktable 3.0, the latest version of the open source photo editing software DRP reported on early last month, has officially been released. As revealed when the first release candidate was made available for public testing, Darktable 3.0 brings a number of large changes and improvements to the software, including a reworked GUI that makes it possible to apply full themes to the software.
‘Darktable’ will be the default theme in Darktable 3.0, but users will also be able to use alternatives like the ‘Darktable Elegant Dark,’ a lighter version of the theme, and ‘Darktable Elegant Darker,’ which has more condensed fonts best used with the Roboto font, according to the developers.

GUI changes aside, Darktable 3.0 adds a number of improvements and new features, including ‘many changes’ to the ‘denoise (profiled)’ module, a rewrite of the previous Picasa export module that switches it over to Google Photos, the addition of new ‘RGB Curve’ and ‘RGB Levels’ modules, a new ‘Basic Adjustments’ module, new color pickers for modules like ‘Watermark’ and ‘Split Toning,’ what the developers refer to as ‘many code optimizations’ for SSE and CPU paths and much more.
In addition to the new features and improvements, Darktable 3.0 includes several bug fixes and support for additional camera models, noise profiles and white balance presets. As expected, the latest version of the software is free to download on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Facebook fixes iOS bug that triggered the camera app on iPhone

Facebook has released an update that fixes a bug in its iOS app related to the iPhone camera app, something that had raised privacy concerns among users.
On Tuesday, a report from CNET highlighted a complaint from some Facebook users on iPhone who shared videos showing a bizarre bug involving the phone’s camera app. At least two different scenarios were found that would cause the Facebook app to become off-center on the phone’s display.
The iPhone’s camera app with its live view would be visible next to the offset Facebook app, spurring conspiracy theories that the social network may have been deliberately using the device’s camera to collect data on the user. In a tweet, however, Facebook VP of Integrity Guy Rosen explained that a recently published bug fix for a different issue caused the Facebook app to ‘partially’ navigate to the iPhone’s camera.
Soon after on Wednesday, November 13, Facebook released a fix for the problem through the App Store. Users will need to download and install the latest update to fix the bug. Some users have reported an inability to trigger the camera bug after updating, indicating that it is an effective fix.

Sony fixes data loss issues with firmware v2.10 for a7 III, a7R III cameras
21

 |
In October 2018, Sony released firmware version 2.0 for its a7 III and a7R III mirrorless cameras. Two months later, in early December, firmware version 2.0 was removed from Sony’s website unexpectedly, due to an issue where some users were experiencing lost data when using an SD card that had already been used multiple times.
Specifically, Sony cited the following reasons for pulling firmware version 2.0 for the a7 III and a7R III cameras:
- In rare cases, your ?7R III or ?7 III model may stop functioning while writing RAW data onto an SD card that has already been used multiple times.
- With the ?7R III, taking a picture while using the Auto Review function may occasionally cause the camera to stop responding.
At the time of the firmware removal, Sony said it would ‘provide updated system software addressing the above issues in mid-December.’ Well, mid-December is here and as promised, Sony has released an update fixing the aforementioned issues.
Firmware version 2.10 features the same upgrades and features as firmware version 2.0, while addressing the data loss and Auto Review issues that plagued the update.
Users can upgrade to firmware version 2.10 for the a7 III (Windows, macOS) and a7R III (Windows, macOS) mirrorless cameras on Sony’s website.

In these times of extremely fast product development cycles manufacturers often seem to forget about ongoing improvements and support for older models, instead trying to convince consumers to upgrade and spend their hard-earned cash on the the latest models.
Olympus is now showing that it is a company that is not ignoring its legacy customers. The camera maker has announced firmware updates for a whole bunch of older PEN and OM-D Micro Four Thirds cameras, the OM-D E-M5 and E-M10 as well as the PEN models E-P5, E-P3, E-PL6, E-PL5, EP-L3, E-PM2 and E-PM1.
The update fixes an AF-malfunction that could occur when using one of the cameras listed above with one of two Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses, the Leica DG Elmarit 200mm F2.8 POWER OIS and the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm F2.8-4 POWER OIS. If you own any of the affected Olympus/Panasonic camera/lens combinations you can find download links for the new firmware on the Olympus website.

Seattle-based Mastin Labs has released a large update for Filmborn, its camera app for iOS, adding additional film looks, free access to all current editing tools, support for iOS 12 and the three newest iPhone models and updates to the original film preset appearances.
Filmborn provides iPhone users with true-to-film presets that give images captured by the phone a realistic film appearance. Users are able to create up to three in-app camera kits containing customized specifications, as well as adjust exposure and white balance using gestures and curves using Filmborn’s Custom Curves tool. Other features includes last photo review, live film previews, and highlight clipping.
Version 1.4 update makes all of those tools free for users who purchase Filmborn. The app’s size and user interface have both been optimized, performance and responsiveness have been improved, and Mastin Labs has added haptic feedback for tool buttons when pressed in Camera view.
A number of bug fixes are included with this update, most notable being a fix for the iPhone X telephoto lens issue users previously experienced. Filmborn now offers a lens toggle under Camera view for dual-camera iPhone models, as well. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR are all now supported by the app.
