I would love to see a good Lightroom alternative in terms of ease of use.
Darktable is great and the results are good, but it's pretty complex to use and has a really steep learning curve. And it doesn't do photo management other than a few basics. Even after months of use I still struggle to replicate what I can do in Lightroom.
You can complete it with digikam.
Very much not a fan, it's extremely slow and doesn't do photo editing so won't show changes to my RAW files.
It has done photo editing forever, you can even edit with external software.
Maybe it's slow though. I never noticed but my collection is small.
Hmm, when I tried editing in external software it doesn't seem to show the edited RAWs when browsing in digikam, because the only way to sync that info is with XMP sidecars and those don't work well for transferring editing changes between software.
I have about 30k RAW files and the initial scan was only a few percent done after over an hour last time I tried it. Lightroom does the initial scan including preview generation in maybe 30 minutes.
Yeah since I work with it LR+PS are holding me back from switching to Linux. I'm not full FOSS on the rest either but at least they offer Linux versions.
