![]() ![]() If you have a lot of time and not a lot of money, play around with darktable. Similarly, if you know what the term white relative exposure means, you’ll be impressed by the advanced modules in an open source platform. But, ultimately, the time required, odd RAW processing, lack of camera color profile support, and slow local edits won’t be worth canceling that Lightroom or Capture One subscription for. I’m giving darktable two out of five stars. That’s probably too generous, but it is free. Lightable is the tab inside darktable that’s designed for viewing, rating, and culling images. As an open-source software, the list of supported cameras doesn’t include the most recently listed ones. For example, I couldn’t import photos from the Canon EOS R3. The Nikon Z7 is on the list, but the Z7 II is not.ĭarktable does not include a file manager. The app still imports files and can star and color code images. But, it doesn’t allow for organizing photos outside of the file system that they already exist on. There are no collections outside the folders on the hard drive. Photographers can import images from an SD card and choose a folder to save them on. There’s also no option to have a second darktable library like Lightroom allows for multiple separate Libraries. Another annoyance is that there are no previews of the images in the import dialog - you can select images by file name but can’t see exactly what you are importing. ![]()
