Title: Free Photo software
Post by: DubFan on 27 July 2012, 00:59
Just found this via someone on Flickr.
It's a free photo management and editing software package, equivalent to Lightroom, but you don't have to pay Adobe anything.
Darktable (http://www.darktable.org/)
It will work with RAW files and also supports tethered shooting.
It's available on the GPL licence, so it's completely free.
Sadly it's only on Linux or MacOS, so I can't try it myself, but it looks alright.

Here's someone's screenshot of what their edit looked like:

Worth checking out.

darktable looks pretty cool, but linux only is a bit rubbish

I've tried Gimp myself, but much prefer real photoshop.

Darktable is for Mac and Linux, just not Windows.

I like GIMP, I use it more than Photoshop.

I dont think GIMP has an equivalent of Lightroom add-on though.  :undecided:
