Lightroom and Photoshop are unfortunately good products with shitty licensing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MSids@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just curious, what are the biggest features that you feel Darktable lacks? I use it occasionally but haven't noticed any huge gaps from LR. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Lots of the AI related stuff is a big draw for current Lightroom. There’s also a lack of Adobe colors, which aren’t a need unless you’re printing a lot Full disclosure It’s been a bit since I’ve used it, but I may try to import the ~800gb photo library I have into it again and give it another shot permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MSids@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 2 years ago Version 4 has been a decent upgrade. I still have some gripes with the overall behavior and interface, but it's very capable software. With the exception of AI Denoise the AI stuff is of little interest to me. I got in on the Kickstarter for Abode and am hoping that will be a suitable paid alternative. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago I use and love Affinity. Back on v1 I used RawTherapee to do the initial conversion, then AP for the "photoshop part".. but in v2 the raw conversion in AP is pretty good, so I just use that for my whole workflow. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CletusVanDamme@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Capture One fan here. Good software buy they are also pushing towards subscriptions although you still have the option to buy and get support for one year as well. Affinity Photo is similar to Photoshop and had a great price, but has less tutorials out there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sauciflord@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yeah same. And capture one don't work on Linux too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pikmeir@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I like Darkroom and use it exclusively. Cons are it's slow as beans, even on my decent machine. Pros are it has a ton of features. Another con is no AI tools built in, and it has a steeper learning curve because it doesn't have the automatic adjustment tools Lightroom does. You can get a better result but it takes work. permalink fedilink source parent
