Tags are keywords and the other options are like “advanced search” options commonly found in search tools. I just tag as a go (or forget to) and live with a certain degree of chaos that comes from six years learning to use Darktable while using it to solve the tasks at hand.īasically a Darktable collection is a set of search criteria. Some people want a grand hierarchy beforehand. RawTherapee provides almost absolute control over photo editing, so studying and using this program undoubtedly requires much effort. but is surprisingly snappy and fun to use. Very quiet with no fan - and no powerhouse. Picked one up yesterday on sale at Costco for 800 - i5 8250U, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, with keyboard cover and MS pencil. However, RawTherapee is more convenient, stable and functional. Anyone using Darktable (or GIMP, RawTherapee, Hugin, etc) on a Surface Pro 6 No, Ive heard its hard to run Linux on those things. Tagging of course is a whole different can of worms. Speaking about Darktable, it is more suitable for beginners. With recent versions of Darktable I can even narrow further by lens or date modified or aperture, etc. If I am only interested in New Mexico pictures from 2018, I can narrow the search by date. If “New Mexico” is a useful collection, I can save it as a preset for easy access. I can collect all my pictures tagged “New Mexico” on the light table if I select pictures by tag instead of by film roll. And pictures can belong to multiple collections.įor me, tags are the most useful way of creating collections across multiple film rolls and date ranges are the second most useful. But a collection can be any of the other options or a combination of filters. Just like in Mac, there is a convenient and free photo editing software for Windows users.

The most common filter is “film roll” which by default is equivalent to an operating system’s file directory/folder. 0 Comments Microsoft Windows 10 Photos offers basic photo fixes like adding image effects and letting the users draw on the pictures.

In Darktable, a collection is a set of filters.
