How to Export Your Edits from Darktable 4.4.1

Are you wondering how to export your edits from Darktable 4.4.1? If so, this article will walk you through the simple steps to save your processed images in JPEG format.

When exporting your edits, it's generally best to avoid using JPEG for further editing purposes, as it may not preserve all of the details and nuances of your original image. Instead, consider exporting in TIFF format if you plan on making additional adjustments in a raster editor like GIMP or Krita.

To export your edits from Darktable 4.4.1, begin by selecting the images you wish to export. If you're in the Lighttable view, simply select the desired images and then open the Export module. From there, choose 'File on Disk' as your target storage option and select a location to save your files. By default, they will be exported to a 'darktable_exported' directory within the same folder that contains your original Raw files.

Alternatively, you can export individual images directly from the Darkroom view or select multiple images at once for batch exporting. The Export module offers many options, but the most common use is to save developed raw images as JPEGs.

It's essential to note that Darktable is a non-destructive editor, which means that all changes are recorded in the library database and backed up in an XMP sidecar file. This ensures that your original Raw files remain untouched, allowing you to easily revert back to their original state if needed.

To export your images in JPEG format, follow these simple steps:

1. Choose a 'File format' of JPEG.

2. Keep the default settings.

3. Click the 'Export' button to save your processed images in the selected location.

By following these steps and exporting your images in JPEG format, you'll be able to share your edits with others or import them into other editing software for further adjustments.
