Apr 29, 2013 at 22:23 comment added James I don't recommend using this professionally unless you backup regularly and have an alternative editor. Last version I used (1.2) bombed out when importing 200+ RAW files (thats a typically low number for an event photographer)

Feb 13, 2012 at 11:39 comment added rumtscho (continued) Beside editing, it gives you niceties such as tethering, tagging, saving and reapplying styles (all changes are done non-destructively). I also appreciate the fact that it is being actively developed, it has changed considerably since I started using it maybe a year ago, and I liked all the changes, they extended the functionality a lot. If you want an example for editing, see this gallery where I played with unnaturally strong effects on boring midday-sun green pics: rumtscho.smugmug.com/Nature/colored-beeches/…
Feb 13, 2012 at 11:28 comment added rumtscho Darktable is my workflow software of choice. I haven't used Lightroom, so I can't describe all differences. But I have used ufraw and RawTherapee and can confirm that Darktable offers more functions than them, in fact I mostly end my editing in Darktable without touching up in GIMP. It has many powerful modules, and runs stable despite being a 0.x version. You can do some very fine-tuned color and sharpness correction with it. The two things I miss in it are a) brushes (all effects apply to the whole image, you can't select areas) and b) Lab editing, almost everything happens in RGB.
