I'd be interested to know, too, because I'm still looking for a decent
management tool. GIMP satisfies all my editing needs.
You could add Digikam to the list, too, if you're going Open Source.

So far you are the first person to even mention "importance". As to "mythical proportions", that is news to me. I am a hobbyist photographer who enjoys having a good tool set at hand fo my digit al darkroom. Adobe provides that for me in Lightroom & Photoshop with a CC subscription. I could get by with any of the other suitable applications, and I have some installed on my Mac. LR + PS suit me and what I produce just fine. What sort of photography and/or graphics work are you engaged in, and what editing sofware do you use? Also, other than the issue of that $9.99/month subscription, what benefits over the Adobe offerings of Lightroom & Photoshop, does the software you use give you? -- Regards, Savageduck

I'm sure that there are plenty of people who use GIMP and it's more than suitable for their needs.

I think it boils down to choices. Personally I have no problem with paying the

It's good that you can see both sides of the equation without being so
dedicated to one or the other that you dismiss those who choose one or
the other. Others here seem to be unable to achieve that position, for
whatever reason. Good on you. : )

HTML5 has some neat features too, and it's free. -- Where's the Vangelis music? Pris' tongue is sticking out in in the wide shot after Batty has kissed her.

Naah. It needs no rebuttal. It just marks the poster down as a bigoted
moron who should be killfiled and forgotten.

Like most Free software clones of other packages it is designed for religious zealots who have a moral objection to using the source of the clone. That means that it, like the others, makes many compromises because it's user-base is unwilling to switch to the better software. Darktable is a pale and distant imitation of Lightroom. Even I would never use it willingly, and I really do very little with photos. There is an OS X specific build which I haven't tried, and it costs nothing, so you can certainly look at it. I was not impressed with it in Ubuntu enough to have any desire to look at it in OS X. -- http://2blog.kreme.com All he [Vimes] knew was that you couldn't hope to try for the big stuff, like world peace and happiness, but you might just about be able to achieve some tiny deed that'd make the world, in a small way, a better place.

While I wouldn't use quite such strong language, that description fits the friend in question who uses it. While this description fits some open source projects, there are others that are sufficiently good that there is no particular need to pay good money for closed source alternatives (for example nobody pays money for a closed source web browser or email client anymore because the open source ones are good enough). Without having the time or expertise to try this particular option, I was just interested in which of the two camps it falls into. > Darktable is a pale and distant imitation of Lightroom.

I personally am very wary of the moves Adobe is making to essentially make its creative suite software into software you rent rather than buy. Robin
