Free Photo software
« 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
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:

Making Of: they can't take that away from me by tatadbb, on Flickr

Worth checking out.

you might want to check out http://www.gimp.org/

Open source equivalent to photoshop and runs on windows, linux and osx

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:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
