updating this since its been a while...

 

 

 

What is everyone using to process their photos now?  Since moving exclusively to Ubuntu, Ive started using Darktable.  It used to be horrible but for the last 12 months or more its been quite good.  its very similar now to lightroom without the ongoing cost!  Im enjoying playing with the new Sigmoid module :)

 

I was watching one video which said convert your photos to Black and White then adjust exposure, then back to colour for the rest of the processing so I will have to try that.

 

Is there any other software worth looking at?

 

Also wondering if anyone in Auckland wants to do some street photography some time? or a geekzone group thing?





Doing your best is much more important than being the best.

i used darktable many years ago and found it a credible tool, and recommended it to some friends and workmates. some of them still use it today. i must admit i did go back to lightroom + ps, in no small part due to my digital archiving project (from 35mm and 110 film) - some of which required heavy lifting due to the state of my source material.

 

have a go at the conversion to b&w to adjust exposure and let us know if it makes for a better workflow. i can understand the reason behind this, but i personally just refer to the histogram.
