It's written by folks fanatical about speed and response, everything is real time, mulithreaded and if you have a decent openCL capable graphics card darktable will offload it's processing to that and go even faster. If speed is your thing you will just love darktable. LZ is great for someone who is new to post processing and not an image processing graduate yet it still has the power to produce compelling results from a simple and attractive interface. Today darktable is more capable but more confusing.
It was groundbreaking in its approach and usability when it came out but in the years it languished unloved darktable has leapt ahead in power and added in the selective area editing capabilities formerly unique to LZ in the open source world.
I'm going to try it when I have a chance.Lightzone is very nice. I've never heard of LightZone and from 1st impressions it looks like a slimmed down Darktable. Hasn't hampered me from working with the photos from the combo. The one thing I've noticed with my new K-3 and 18-135mm wr is there is no camera or lens profile for either in DT. I'm still learning Darktable and have been using it casually for the last 6 months, but I like it lots. I like most it has face recognition that works decently for helping speed up my photo tagging needs.Įven if I wanted to use Lightroom there is no Linux version so I don't bother with it. I have and still use digikam also from time to time. There is Corel AfterShot Pro if you wanted to purchase commercial photo management software that actually runs in linux, mac or windows natively, but dark table is pretty nice! Also free. Its nice being one that prefers using linux for my day to day computing needs to have so many free or open source options available.
