Hi, I absolutely agree it can be very easy to use. Darktable like all software apps has a learning curve but you tube has loads of videos to help, I found that using lightroom years ago I had the initial learning process. You can create styles in dt to speed things up and just apply them then fine tune after. I would never consider a move back to in my opinion inferior software with it's lack of masking options, and again in my opinion a bloated catalogue system taking up valuable storage on the hard drive, not to mention the cost. Many of my friends have moved to dt over the years and none have gone back, in fact many have also moved to linux on my recommendation and none of them have moved back to microsoft. Long live open source, it's the way forward. A big thanks to all the developers of darktable for there work over the years, wow dt 3.2.1 is brilliant, the new theme's, import options, filmic rgb, tone curve etc etc etc. Phil
