i NEED, more than anything else, a program i can launch and simply make good photos with, not a 7 day task of redesigning the UI, profiling my own camera, and making correction profiles for every lens I own.

i do not NEED 5 different demosaicing algorithms or to reorder the signal processing chain. there is only one best way to do that when i am not making glitch art. therefore i'll just use capture one lol

also, anything "GNU" licensed is infected with literal communism that denies a software developer the right to a trade secret and makes software development as a professional economically impossible once it has infested a project (it is a license that legally denies everyone involved the right to own property - software once infected is legally "owned by the party", it is so marxist they call it copyleft), and the JEW, yes he is jewish, richard m stallman who co-designed GNU licensing designed it to be highly contagious. also, the exact same JEW (richard m stallman) went on the record to defend pedophillic contact with children as young as 7, claim that bestiality should be legalized without exception, and to defend HIS CLOSE FRIEND EPSTEIN by saying that any "abused" children actually gave their full consent. i use as little GNU licensed shit (hard because it's so contagious) as possible for this reason.

Do you know exactly how the crack works? Have you checked every .dll to see what they contain? Even if it's a keygen or pre-cracked, the software is altered ahead of time. If you're just blocking the .exe you're not in the slightest bit secure and it isn't "fine". It's 2024 not 2008, you need to do better.

Affinity 2 is not subscription based, it is one time purchase and inexpensive.
The company was recently bought, so there is concern that the follow up to Affinity 2 will require subscription, but there has been no evidence either way of how that will go.
>>4322304
This. It literally does 100% of raw development and the results look great.

>>4322396
Oh turns out you’re right, they aren’t subscription based for version 2. I remember now, they pissed everyone off by not providing a v1 to 2 upgrade despite basically advertising themselves as “you’ll always receive updates” when they were first breaking into the scene. So my rage is justified regardless, which really is the only thing that matters in the end.

But you don't have to get that autistic about it if you don't want to? Darktable has pretty sane defaults (and the UI customization it allows isn't even a thing in Lightroom--that's a pro, not a con) and good compatibility with any mainstream camera and lens, which it can auto-recognize the files of to apply the correct profiles. The different demosaicing algorithms (which it does a good job of auto applying) are part of why it never struggled with certain brands, like Fuji, the way Lightroom has, which is one of the benefits of Darktable. It also has a wider set of modules performing more complex functions, ensuring I would never have to bounce to something like Photoshop to get the edits I want for my style.

I get from this post that you haven't ever used it, at least not recently, or gave up immediately after launching it and now just wanted to vent about the anti-FOSS chip on your shoulder. I'm not a big FOSS guy myself but whatever retardation Stallman has been a part of and so on doesn't change the fact that Darktable is a free alternative that actually beats some of the paid options in certain areas and is competent in the rest.

>>4325828

DxO Photolab

>C1
Actually worse raw profiles, looks like the stock Adobe profiles, just more punchy. No camera matching profiles (they look like Adobe Color not like the camera matching profiles, eg no PT, no ST, etc) which is one of the strong points. /p/ is fucked in the head.

There's literally nothing else let alone with an Android tablet app where I can take my catalogue anywhere via cloud.

Here is what I need for proofing
>Cloud rendering so that edits only upload Metadata not re-upload entire image
>cloud soft proofing that can generate picks/new album without manually selecting or manually uploading
>cloud export albums for client downloading actually kinda suck since it still exports in P3 with no sRGB option last I checked
>entire catalogue viewable/storage in cloud, not just for 1 month/last shoot only (C1 cloud)
>fully featured Android tablet app, or at least ipad pro app (I switched to s9 ultra from iPad pro desu)
>ability to pull up any part of catalogue anywhere with internet on any of my devices

The soft proofing is a big one. You still have to generate the album via lightroom web instead of any of the apps which is stupid.. but it's very convenient none the less

Everybody else is so far behind it's not even funny. C1 might be alright on a shoot by shoot basis if you finish within a month but it's actually more expensive for that feature and no full catalogue in cloud, no tablet, no matching profiles so it's a complete bust.

If open source ever got any good this could technically be possible by either self hosting on your home machine or Azure Functions / AWS Lambda self hosting, still needs an on parity tablet app first.

i've been using fastrawviewer for culling. it seems perfect, since you can tag shit quickly (either stars, or color tags), then move the color tagged into new folder.. then repeat process (especially if shooting people)

what I miss from OG lightroom (haven't bothered trying the cloud versions) is the "library" module, and how you could quickly browse stuff, quickly enter develop mode. I guess the dever photolab is getting there, but I remember older DXO version being slow AF when browsing stuff in "library" module.

How about digiKam

Also, whats the best way to get all of my photos backed up from lightroom? I did pic related so have all the originals but is there any good way to have the edited settings or versions as well that may be able to be imported into one of these alternatives?

You must be a snoy if you think lightroom is better. Sony "colors" really benefit from lightroom's aggressive color destruction and camera jpegs aggressive color NR and global moire wipeout. Saturating shit makes saturated shit - punch only looks good if the color science was already perfect

Honestly I'm not sure, I haven't used a Adobe product in forever, and I have no idea what I'm doing anyway. It seems to be a pretty full-featured program on the editing side. For file management, I use XnViewMP, but maybe it's lacking some features that some people need, I dunno.

I tried Darktable a few years ago and found it utterly horrible. Maybe that's why Affinity 2 seemed so wonderful when I tried it.

I tried using darktable and besides the UI being worse it seems like its handling my pictures much worse than lightroom. There is so much more noise / grain especially in the sky in this image for example compared to when i open it in lightroom (or just opening the CR3 file in windows photos). It's very odd. I am sick of spending $10 a month especially since ive been not doing photography that often but besides pirating older lightroom i or paying $300 for capture one (and then cant use edit on mobile/ipad) i dont see a real alternative

He also unironically uses gentoo linux in his 30s, when that's usually something you do in your teens or 20s before you get a job.

Lightroom with 1tb storage and mobile is $10 monthly, i already own affinity photo on desktop and ipad so any photoshop features are not needed by me. The whole reason i want to move away from adobe is subscriptions are bullshit, i just want to buy my software once like i was able to do with affinity photo. Its just a shame they dont offer a real lightroom alternative.

People who care about cloud storage are weird to me. 2tb portable drives are way better. Imagine your stuff being stuck on a file host subscription. Where's it gonna go when that expires? Yeah, a 2tb portable drive. Might as well just have the portable drive in the first place.

>subscriptions are bullshit
They also hit the budget spot for 99.999999999% of humanity and better fund the continuous improvement that can keep up with the fast paced bullshit of the tech industry. The downside is when the company goes under, so does all licensing, but by then the software will have a trustworthy crack or someone will sue whoever made off with the most money for a permanent key.

C1 *is* the real lightroom alternative, it's just for a slightly more autistic and experienced kind of user so the way of doing things is a bit different and not exactly what you're used to. It's like jumping from whatever garbage you learned in college because of some business deals with the school, to what real businesses actually use (it's always different).

>>4329531
>People who care about cloud storage are weird to me. 2tb portable drives are way better.
Its just included with the plan, just one more backup site that i get without having to deal with it. For example if im travelling and editing on my ipad i dont bother to backup to an external drive as its just a waste of time but when i get home i can just grab all the raw files from where lightroom stores them on my PC and back those up to whichever locations id like. It's definitely not a make or break. Also they are definitely not 'stuck' on adobes backup service, you can pull them down to any device pretty easily as far as im aware.

Would you rather use a dongle (annoying to connect two rectangles with a wire? tell that to your ancestors who had to hitch horses to carriages to travel faster than a jog) and keep your stuff or use "the cloud" (adobe's servers) and let them use your photos to create marketable data products and train AI without compensating you

It's not lying, it's providing you with processed data by default. ALL digital photos need processed from something that looks a bit like this. Darktable provides you with less processed data by default because its developed by people who are unpaid, and they are unpaid because they are not competent enough nor enthusiastic to figure out how to provide a more workable default for every slightly different camera there is. Their solution is to provide you with minimal processing and let you figure out the rest for them. Why would they figure it out for you? They're not being paid. If you want a fully processed result and for further decisions to be creative rather than technical, learn to program and fix it yourself! That's the FOSS way.

LR auto applies denoise, lens correction, CA correction, cranks the saturation, and cranks the sharpness by default before you get to touch any sliders. Darktable lets you pick if you want those things. Darktable is broadly more powerful and flexible than Lightroom, though certain modules (particularly anything LR is using AI to do) lag behind, and it has a much steeper learning curve since you have to understand every processing step you are applying to your image.

Granted i didnt spend long looking and i probably should before i re-buy lightroom but i couldnt even find the tone curve in light room, the only similar thing i found was the color zone. I also get that this is just a user problem but going from just importing from an SD card in lightroom and then the originals are kept on my computer and cloud backed up is so much nicer than having to take them from the SD card into a folder then import them into Darktable. I hadnt realized i would have to do this so i just imported from the SD card and then windows ejected it so i couldnt work on them until i unplugged and plugged it back it. I know these are just workflow differences but one is definitely better than the other.

Not what equations go into it. This is the linux/windows debate… one person programs the computer and writes a personal suite of lisp scripts forever.

Keep in mind that if you aren’t using Lightroom classic specifically, it won’t have some it those options. Adobe in all of their infinite wisdom made a phone snap centric editor and slapped the Lightroom name on it, and the renamed the old style catalogue+editor “Classic”. Very different applications. Personally classic still works just fine for me but I’d probably still be using apple aperture if they hadn’t sunsetted it. I don’t need much.

Can we see your beautiful photos that are only good because you started with no lens corrections, no denoise, a generic color profile, and no unsharp mask?

FYI I have never seen one single good photo that was processed with darktable. Nada. The users are too busy fiddling with charts, DIY profiling, and consooming more gear because "l-lightroom lied to me, i cant use that lens it uses software distortion correction"

I like to put my raws where I want them so I can more easily find them if I want to use them with different software or send them to other people who aren't on whatever cloud platform. The only thing the editor should catalog is where I put them and the associated edits.

I am not using classic, if that was the case id just get a cracked version (which i'm still tempted to do). I've been using lightroom CC so i can use it on phone (i have a galaxy fold so decent for editing) or ipad as well. Some of the features like auto correcting geometry and some other features are nice but its mostly just learning this completely different UI seems like a pain, capture one seemed at least more similar to light room. Shit like this also is just confusing, how is it that white balance is beign applied twice, it doesnt say where the two are from or help me locate it. Changing my white balance shouldnt be that hard and there should be easy auto options even if it isnt made for slop consumers,

looks like shit

All that settings fiddling and time spent personally approving every pixel and it looks like the jpeg output

You can just choose where you want it to keep the original files. You can also still just do this manually. I dont usually wipe my sd cards so the import feature in lightroom just showing the new ones is nice, doing it manually i guess id just select everything and when asked choose skip if its there, then in darktable import just the new ones. Not that big of a deal.

Is there any way to (quickly and easily) see the before and after version of edits in darktable (or capture one)? Being able to just press \ and see the before and after is very useful.

>>4329668
In capture one you press "y"
in darktable you write a lua script to add this feature yourself

>>4329648
It's called "tone curve" in darktable. You should be able to to use the "copy and import" button to copy from an SD card to the darktable library.

>>4329649
I called you a slop consumer because you said home cooking a pizza instead of buying a frozen one was communism. All the other shit you wrote was extremely gay.

>>4329657
Sorry anon Lightroom (sans classic) is widely known to be a stupid piece of shit. Can’t offer anymore help, I would never.

>>4329678
I never made any pizza comments stembug

>>4329687
Even gayer that you got all worked up over me hassling someone else then lmao

>>4329683
what makes it a piece of shit compared to classic? It's been a while since i used classic and i remember being annoying with a few of the changes but cant remember what they even were.

>>4329678
It's not like home cooking a pizza. It's like a lazy public "worker" sending you a half finished product. Both buying a finished pizza and truly making your own (not playing with a half done toy) are better options.

In the photography sense, that would be using capture one/LRC/camera jpeg, or shooting film with a 100% analog process.

>Unprompted and clumsy political allegories on the photography board
Yawn

>You MUST use pricey corporate slop or shoot film
Darktable is free and does everything Lightroom does, that's all I need. I don't care that I have to click 3 buttons to apply the Lightroom defaults.

I remember the mid /jp/ days when it was “having money bad, working = cuckoldry”

I don’t think Darktable supports the compressed lossless RAW of my Z9, does it? Last time I used it I noped out fast but that was like 12 years ago.


I use Capture One (20 or 21, I forget which) and Affinity Photo now. Photo Mechanic when I’m editing sometimes.

>>4324690
That's true, but the paywalled features are AI dogshit.

Only thing I kinda want is the captioning and transcription features from premiere.

>adobe FUD shilling
holy shit

>>4329730
lol what darktable dev could ever afford a z9?

>>4321799
pirated capture one studio + pirated pixelmator. simple as.

>>4322304
damn, thank you anon for this
just tried it and the result is great
feels less snappy than adobe stuff but I can live with this

>>4333566
You will not regret it, also be sure to use the Picture Style Editor for images you want to really control the colors.
It's a separate download on the Canon page, but links up with DPP and EOS Utility.

Edit the hosts file to 127.0.0.1 and problem solved.

Red blooded, huh?

Speaking of Darktable - I still use old version (2.6) with all presents I made so far but I face problem with update. New version does work much faster and smoother but I cannot simply install over (it straight out states that it would cause problems due to large difference between 2.x and 3.x versions) and in 2.x there are no options to export presents or at least I couldnt find them. How to get around that?

Horsehsoe theory

probably not the best of the best with honors, but gthumb + ufraw_batch is possibility

>>4321799
Capture one and phocus are the actual industry standard editors for working photographers, the kind you'd call real photographers, not the ones that shoot for the newspaper.

A yearly C1 subscription is so cheap a minimum wage employee can afford it. You probably spend more on beer, so the solution is to buy less beer.

Does Capture One use gpu to generwte thumbnails faster?

>>4334196
Capture one is $25/m just for desktop in Australia

that's expensive for a photo editing app, $505 for one time but then you don't get updates.

$25 doesn't include mobile app either

I just got Affinity Photo 2 (actually, the whole bundle) and I'm pleased with it as a lightroom alternative for my needs.
It's not a lightroom alternative for everyone's needs -- e.g. no batch processing, the tools aren't as deep.
But I'm just a hobbyist and focus mostly on the artistic side of photography, I'm not trying to process 1000s of wedding photos. I want to edit my photos and have fun and make some nice results, and I think Affinity Photo 2 does a good job of that. It might also be my style -- I tend to take more time on fewer shots vs. just spamming the shutter release like most of you all do.
For the hobbyist, the main missing feature IMO is library management. You'll need a different tool for that.
Definitely something I recommend to hobbyists as a Lightroom Developer and Photoshop alternative in one software package.

Darktable is a great example of why open source software will never properly take off. It's dominated by autistic developers who shouldn't even be in the same room of anyone with a say in UX.
>darktable is created for photographers, by photographers.
Correction: by autistic photographers for autistic photographers.
Sure, it's "technically correct" in practically any regard you examine it.
The software works great if, at the beginning of the process, you can look at the photo and know just about what modules and settings it's going to need to get a desired final result. That works great for optimizing fidelity of over-the-horizon wind turbine pictures and other autistic photographic obsessions.
It fucking falls apart for the vast majority of photographers who need a degree of explorability in their developing process, because frankly, the vast majority of good art is inherently ambiguous and has too many variables to consider with various compromises and no right answer.
This makes the autistic photographer seethe, of course, who'll find ways to dismiss this art on technical grounds then blame women as to why 99% of people prefer that photography over their autistic train photo collection carefully curated for maximum sharpness and details present regardless of any compositional considerations.
And that's the kind of photographer Darktable works well for (and generally, the example of the failure of open source software to succeed).

People seems to recommend Phocus but is it actually working with other camera systems?

apple photos, hit a few sliders, crop and export... i don't get what y'all are on about, make better photos

>>4334932
sunk coast fallacy imo
It's perfectly usable if you aren't braindead, you are just salty you overspent on something that's hardly any better
