Looks good, I'll give it a whirl. I could never figure out a good darktable workflow. The UI seemed all over the place with some basic features missing and way too bloated in certain areas that I imagine 99% of users would never touch. Hopefully Ansel has figured out a better feature balance and UI.
My current Linux photo processing tool is Another RawTherapee [1], which is a wonderful blend of the power of RawTherapee with a UI that has a lot of similarities to Lightroom.

- simulo 3y agoI also throught of ART as a fork of RawTherapee, also forked with the aim to make it easier to use. I wondered if that is something hard to avoid: Over time features get added, usability worsens. This might be general, but it could apply to FOSS in particular, which often takes a modular approach (cue UNIX philosophy) and rarely includes structures where potentially useful features are rejected in order to keep the whole experience simple.
- renjimen 3y agoYeah, I guess there's a point where starting afresh is beneficial to refocus. A bit different, but it's the same for institutions too. I know some countries have "sundowner" clauses on every institution, where they need to apply for a permit to continue operating every 10 years or so. Provides a good point to think "is this working and still serving its original purpose?".
