Yes I can say I have noticed the improvement when I realized I could utilize Darktable and openCL with my GTX 760. My current work around for this is to shoot PEF in camera and then using Adobes current 8.4 raw convertor installed via wine to convert the PEF to DNG and somehow the file the converter produces actually contains the lens info that is read by DT. The PEF is totally unsupported, but will read the DNG just fine but excludes the embedded maker notes for the lens type used. Due to some of the dependencies it and pretty much all linux photo programs use to read the raw file types. My only wish would be better support for Pentax PEF, but specifically the images coming out of the Pentax K-3! PEF and DNG. 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.Having used LightZone a bit more since learning of it I do like it, but DT is just mile ahead. 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. 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. 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.
#LIGHTROOM VS DARKTABLE PRO#
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.
#LIGHTROOM VS DARKTABLE 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.
