darktable - a digital photography workflow application

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Options:

    --help        
    --version
    -d {cache,control,dev,fswatch,perf}

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<darktable> is a digital photography workflow application for B<Linux> 
and B<Mac OS X> in the lines of B<Adobe Lightroom> and B<Apple Aperture>.

The application is designed to ease editing and consistent processing of large 
photo sessions and provides a easy to use digital light-table and a set 
of sophisticated postprocessing tools.

Most processing is done in 32-bit floating point per channel mode in device independent 
B<CIE L*a*b*> color space. B<darktable> is also fully color managed, which gives 
you full control over the look of the photos.

The application relies on a modern plug-in architecture thus making it easy for 
3rd party developers to extend the existing capabilities of the application. 
All light-table and darkroom features are implemented as plug-ins, so you can 
create your plug-ins reusing existing code.

=head1 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

=over

=item B<-d control>

Enable job queue debugging. If you redirect darktables output to B<control.log> and
call B<./tools/create_control_svg.sh control.log>, you will get a nice B<control.svg>
with a visualization of the threads' work.

=item B<-d cache>

This will give you a lot of debugging info about the mipmap cache for light table mode. If
compiled in debug mode, this will also tell you where in the code a certain buffer has
last been locked.

=item B<-d perf>

Use this for performance tweaking your darkroom modules. It will rdtsc-measure the
runtimes of all plugins and print them to stdout.
