Thanks Marc! Usually I don't need that high a quality, most of my clients are very satisfied with hirez RGB jpegs (print and screen), but it is certainly an idea to export them also as 16 bit tiffs. I don't think I will ever need Prophoto though, but in case I do I can always reopen the raw file in DT, or subcribe to LR for one month ;). Currently my plan is to edit and export everything I could have use for in the future within my current year subscription of LR.

Hello Jack,

LR exit :  LR export - dt import
----------------------------------------

My LR exit strategy involves exporting my best photos as 16 bit Tiff's in 
Prophoto colorspace. These can be ugly coloured when displayed on an sRGB 
display (my system's colour management cannot deal with this).  But after 
importing them into darktable the colours are entirely recovered (dt's colour 
management does a great job !). I then set the working colourspace (input 
profile module) on Linear Prophoto RGB.  As such I should (expect to) obtain 
high (16 bit) precision if I still want to do small edits on them. I keep the 
Raw's too of course.  It must be said those Tiff's are 2.5 times the size of 
the Raw's.


Marc.

My current reason for using LR is that I'm re-editing all my digital images I 
find worthwhile saving, starting from 2002, and then export them in 3 different 
ways: jpeg small for web, RGB and Adobe RGB high quality jpegs. Those I will 
keep on several backup drives.

After I'm finished (and LR is much quicker in editing so no DT here), I don't 
think I will need to edit them a second time and I could stop my subscription 
of LR and start editing with DT again. But only if it doesn't take too long and 
the results are as natural looking as the ones I get from LR (or other 
software). Should I ever need to re-edit an image I could do that from scratch 
with DT.

As for being held hostage: if you stop paying for LR etc., you will
not be able to easily modify your existing edits, true. Otoh, if for
whatever reason you can no longer use darktable, you'll find yourself
in the exact same situation...
