darktable - a rather good photo workflow for Linux

Hi, Don't know if there are too many photography nerds here, but I've discovered a very nice package for managing raw photo publishing: darktable - http://www.darktable.org/ It's not really a pixel editor like Gimp. You can add a whole variety of transforms and filters to a group of pictures, and then export them all, leaving the original files untouched. It works in 32 bit/pixel floating point, so you don't get quantization issues. darktable's UI is a little odd, and it will take you a few hours to learn how everything works. After you learn, it works just fine. cheers, Stewart

I think that this will be MY LAST POST TO tlug(a)ss.org. And it is my first post to talk(a)gtalug.org. | From: Ken Heard <kenslists(a)teksavvy.com> | I will consequently | unsubscribe from the old list and subscribe to the new. I don't know if the "unsubscribe" is necessary or even a good idea. How are the old and new lists connected? I subscribed on Monday evening to the new ones and have not unsubscribed from the old one. I have not received any double-posts. In fact, all messages I've seen seem to be from the old list. I'm sending this message to both old and new lists. Let's see what happens. If there is no automatic cross-posting, one should stay subscribed to both old and new lists.
