I really like the path tools in Darktable.ĭarktable was the first software I used after a decade of experience with Adobe.

Again, I am not sure how many Raw editors have this.Great design and full control. Highlight reconstruction: Very effective for partial blown outs like sun or a bright colored dress. I am not a big fan of film and not sure if it is enough for anyone who loves film. But I really have not looked around much.įilm Emulations: Some modules like Velvia and Grain give you the ability to emulate film. So far I am yet to find something that is to my taste. Styles: You can import styles that others built that you can apply and get instant results.
The tool works fairly well and just gives you a taste of what all features that could come in future. Liquify Tool: At some point, I just think if they can bundle a clone module I will give up on Gimp. But I guess this should be standard affair for most Raw convertors. But then you can do your own correction if you have the time and interest too. Since I shoot portraits mostly it might vary if you are more demanding. I find most of the lenses available and the corrections are fairly good. Lens Correction: It has a decent collection in its lens library, thanks to lensfun. Funny enough I know it must be one of the modes, yet to figure out. I am still trying to figure out the mask eraser. Not easy to learn I agree, but worth the effort. Mask Manager- The power to stack up multiple masks, reuse masks and an array of modes which create powerful combos.
Right click and you can choose guided steps via mouse hover. Simplified Workflow, you pick the modules that you will repeatedly use, mark them favorite and you can edit in a simple sequence.įine grained control for changes – hover your mouse over the selected module and you can use the mouse wheel to adjust for fine tuning. I know Lightroom has these tools built in the latest edition, and DXO got Nik itself. Which you can create another mask to smoothen and brighten.

But with greater degree of control.Īn example is, you can increase the contrast and saturation of only the dress but leave the skin untouched. It almost mimics Nik Collections’ U point technology. My personal favorite combination is drawn and parametric with hue channel. I have used masks in the past but DT takes it to the next level. But these will be specific to my workflow.įor example, I will not speak anything about the DAM/catalogue features since I always edit individual or batches and not bother about retaining edits.Īlso, I will not compare against any other editors like Lightroom, since I don’t think I can add value there.

This review will mostly be positive and beware, I am a hobbyist so if you are a Pro with 1500 images to work on a weekday my view may not apply.Īlso, there are noticeable shortfalls which I will outline so that if someone can take into consideration if they plan to move from any other Raw developer. It was not going to replace any of my existing tools.īut during the holiday season I had some time off, watched a bit of videos and played around a bit.Īnd the best way to put the result was, I was so impressed I explored some Linux flavors to make a switch from Windows to Linux 😊.As a standalone, I was not pleased with the colors.I will admit that when I uninstalled darktable within minutes of installing because I was trying to check if darktable can replace a couple of them so that I can simplify my workflow. Nik Collection for colors and enhancement.Gimp - For layers/masks and simple cloning.So when darktable was made available in Windows, I was naturally curious. As a hobbyist, I am always excited about new offerings in post processing.
