But that doesn’t mean we don’t have similar needs when it comes to serious processing of RAW photo files and accompanying workflow support. But as lovers of Linux and open source software, we do not have Lightroom at our disposal as there is no native installable version of Lightroom for Linux available and probably never will. And we can only say that Lightroom is one of the most robust software solutions to organize and process RAW photo files. What is darktableĪdobe’s Lightroom has been the de facto standard for professional and serious RAW editing for Windows and macOS for years. So let’s have a look at darktable 3.0 for Linux. And now the team behind darktable has given us a Christmas present in the form of darktable version 3.0 and I am curious if darktable is an even better alternative for former Lightroom users. For me personally, darktable surpasses the other software solutions and offers a great photo platform for both serious enthusiasts and professionals who want to switch from Lightroom.
I have tried all these applications to determine which software best fits my way of working and my specific requirements. A surprisingly large number of high-quality RAW editors are available for Linux, such as RawTherapee, GTKRawgallery, Lightzone and of course also darktable. However, when my interest in Linux was sparked, I started looking for usable open source alternatives to process my RAW photo files. And many other functions and design decision that help with ease of use.Before I made a full switch to Linux a few years ago, I used Adobe Lightroom on the macOS operating system to process my RAW files for both my personal photography and my professional photo work. There's also a overlay mask that shows wether a shot is in focus or not. Plus, live view allows superimposing an overlay great for cover shooting. Many cameras can be controlled via the program and if the camera has live view, similar functionality can be enabled in Capture One. It has Hot Folder functionality that will keep an eye on changes in a set folder and as soon as any new images appear in that folder they will be added to Capture One great for cameras that are not supported by Capture One natively and unlike other Hot Folder functionality in other programs C1 captures everything coming in quickly and imports all images as active. For example, it has Composition Mode that allows setting up the shot without taking up hard-drive space by replacing the last image taken with the a one as soon as you take it. Well thought out tethered capture implementation Once you hook up your camera to Capture One, the program offers a bunch of useful tools and workflows based on your needs.
