I’m growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its “scene referred pipeline” took some time, but now that I’m getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom.

Combined with digiKam, which is excellent for photo collection management, I’m a very happy photographer :)

      In terms of noise reduction which greatly affects image quality it is nowhere near the big commercial players.

        I’ve found the profiled noise reduction in Darkroom to do what I need. I’ve not noticed any significant difference between it and the results I was getting from Lightroom.

          That may be so, but Lightroom is not the class leader in noise reduction. There are other programs out there that do a much better job

            Cool, but I don’t need class leader… I need “works on my linux box without loss of functionality compared to my previous Windows workflow”
