One of the best alternatives is Darktable – If you have already worked with Lightroom Classic CC, the operation should look familiar. As with the competitor from Adobe, images can be imported, sorted and rated in a tab called “Light Table”. If you have made a selection from the imported RAWs, you can edit them in the “Darkroom” tab. There you will find all common tools such as the controls for contrast, saturation and brightness, exposure and color corrections as well as a whole host of additional functions in several tabs. Even minor retouching or the removal of annoying points is possible with Darktable.- The software has now received a major update and is now in Version 3.2.1 available. The light table has been completely redesigned in this version and should now load faster and also handle resolutions up to 8K. The user interface has also been given a corresponding makeover and the settings have been completely revised and reorganized. All changes can be found in the official blog post from the manufacturer.- Who is with Darktable A little concerned, you quickly notice: With this tool, there is hardly anything to be desired in terms of editing options. However, this is at the expense of usability: some functions are hidden, and the user interface can appear a bit confusing at first glance. Still is Darktable a serious competitor for Adobe Lightroom and also offers features that the top dog does not have, such as automation with Lua scripts.-
