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 fi

I compile for two reasons: 1. It is often a n unbearable wait for the latest version to come to ubuntu [evenYear].04 LTS, and 2. Some features are NOT in the official ubuntu build. For example, WebP support, and AVIF support. (WebP, I use, AVIF, I just want to play around with). Indeed,

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 wee

I have to agree with Pascal that there is a 'simplified' way of using dt that essentially makes it even far easier than using lr. I place 6 modules into my favorites, each is preset for my normal needs and then with 90% of my images all I need to do is to adjust the white and black relative ex
