26 darktable is a digital photography workflow application for Linux, Mac
27 OS X and several other Unices. It's described further in darktable(1).
28
29 darktable-cli is a command line variant to be used to export images
30 given the raw file and the accompanying xmp file.
31
33 The user needs to supply an input filename and an output filename. All
34 other parameters are optional.
35
36 <input file>
37 The name of the input file to export.
38
39 <xmp file>
40 The optional name of an XMP sidecar file containing the history
41 stack data to be applied during export. If this option is not
42 given darktable will search for an XMP file that belongs to the
43 given input file.
44
45 <output file>
46 The name of the output file. darktable derives the export file
47 format from the file extension. You can also use all the variables
48 available in darktable's export module in the output filename.
49
50 --width <max width>
51 This optional parameter allows one to limit the width of the
52 exported image to that number of pixels.
53
54 --height <max height>
55 This optional parameter allows one to limit the height of the
56 exported image to that number of pixels.
57
58 --bpp <bpp>
59 An optional parameter to define the bit depth of the exported
60 image; allowed values depend on the file format. Currently this
61 option is not yet functional. If you need to define the bit depth
62 you need to use the following workaround:
63
64 --core --conf plugins/imageio/format/<FORMAT>/bpp=<VALUE>
65
66 where FORMAT is the name of the selected output format, for example
67 png.
68
69 --hq <0|1|true|false>
70 A flag that defines whether to use high quality resampling during
71 export. Defaults to true.
72
73 --upscale <0|1|true|false>
74 A flag that defines whether to allow upscaling during export.
75 Defaults to false.
76
77 --style <style name>
78 Specify the name of a style to be applied during export. If a
79 style is specified, the path to the darktable configuration
80 directory must also be specified (i.e. --core --configdir
81 ~/.config/darktable). Defaults to no style specified.
82
83 --style-overwrite
84 The specified style overwrites the history stack instead of being
85 appended to it.
86
87 --apply-custom-presets
88 With this option you can decide if darktable loads its set of
89 default parameters from data.db and applies them. Otherwise the
90 defaults that ship with darktable are used.
91
92 --verbose
93 Enables verbose output.
94
95 --core <darktable options>
96 All command line parameters following --core are passed to the
97 darktable core and handled as standard parameters. See
98 darktable(1) for a detailed description of the options.
