All, Thank you for your feedback. I highly value your reflections on my black&white statements, certainly when it comes to convince others/friends about (my recent discovery of) darktable. This current blog has been very helpful, and still is, for issues that I encountered in the very first weeks with dt. But is there somewhere a blog (in English or French) that you can advise where ideas are exchanged/posted about (creative) use of dt's capabilities?
Also again thank you to all involved in the making and growing of dt.
