So you can safely use Darktable and if you do not like it - simply uninstall it.your images will be safe! If your images get downloaded to User,home files(or similar) pictures.that is where they will always reside - catalogues only 'lose' images that you move outside of the catalogue. Your image files do not reside in any program.they get 'associated' with programs to open them. Dark table will search your files in whatever 'system' you use. I have a simple filing system based on year, place, object (person etc).and delete a lot of images that I am not instantly happy with (I did originally think that I would re-visit them to fix, but frankly life is too short) So having lots of Key word search capability is not my thing.LR does this well!!!if that is your requirement. It can be run in a partition with Windows. I too swopped to has a great selection of image manipulation software free to use. I use darktable because its raw processing appears closer to the jpg than UFraw. In a fit of stupidity I put my name on one image and LR decided to put it on all of them.never did learn how to remove it - as links people said were there - i couldn't get to work. It was a pain to set up and most 'alterations' used my PSE as an 'add on'. But I will say Darktable is a very polished product for being free (Linux version). I wouldn't say one is better than the other, because everyone has their own opinion and comfort level with their personal workflow. But the most common modules become second nature after some use, just like any software program.
With Darktable, there are always multiple ways to accomplish similar results, so it is a very complicated program to fully master. There are great tutorials for Darktable that help the user learn the program and the modules. With Darktable you can tag RAW files upon import or any other time allowing for searches (which are saved), also pretty much any other searchable criteria that is located in or with (sidecar file) that file can be searched on. That is not to say that it doesn't offer a very effective method to sort through, categorize, and search RAW files. Since I have a Linux system I can't use Adobe products, so I am not sure of the difference of the two.ĭarktable is in fact a RAW file editor and not a file manager.
