At a casual glance, Darktable and Lightroom appear to be very similar in layout and accessibility.Darktable 4.4 open-source, free, and cross-platform RAW image editor has been released today six months after darktable 4.2 and it looks like it’s a major update that brings numerous new features, performance improvements, new camera support, and more.ĭarktable 4.4 introduces support for many new cameras including Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, SX160 IS, SX20 IS, SX220 HS, SX230 HS, SX240 HS, SX30 IS, SX530 HS, SX710 HS, Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR, Fujifilm X-A7, Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad X2D 100C, Leica M10 Monochrom (DNG), Leica M11 (DNG), Leica M11 Monochrom (DNG), Leica Q3 (DNG), Nikon Z 8 (14-bit compressed), Panasonic DC-GH5M2 (4:3), Panasonic DMC-FZ100 (1:1, 3:2, 16:9), Panasonic DMC-GF8 (4:3, 1:1, 3:2, 16:9), Phase One IQ180, Phase One P45, and Sony ILME-FX30. They both have an almost identical colour scheme and feature similar panels for file management and editing. In Lightroom, the main Library tab features a Navigator panel where you have a preview of your image along with a Catalogue and Collection Management Library. There’s also a panel for image information as well as some Quick Edit options. ![]() In Darktable ( review), this tab is referred to as Lightable and also features image preview, catalogue management and image information. ![]() So far, the two are pretty much the same to look at and navigate. Under the Develop tab in Lightroom, the Navigator panel provides control over Presets, History, Snapshots and Collections. The main edit panel is where all the action happens with a broad suite of editing tools. In Darktable, the Darkroom tab also features a Navigator and editing panel that again look much the same as in the Adobe product. In assessing the two, I found that Lightroom was user friendly and had a simple flow, especially when just getting started with the software. File management is relatively simple and editing tools are grouped appropriately. While Darktable has a similar look to Lightroom, the navigation process is not as straightforward. This is especially obvious in the Darkroom tab with the editing tools (or ‘modules’ as they’re called). These tools are broken down further into tabs for various groups of modules. Some of the groupings felt a little odd and appreciating how the tabs operate took a bit of getting used to.įurther to this, there’s a menu containing additional modules that you can add and remove to your groups. While any software application is going to take some time to learn and the best way to learn is through experimentation, the Lightroom experience is a lot smoother and less complex.Ĭreating Collections in Lightroom is simple and allows for appropriate file management. ![]() When it comes to file management, the Lightroom Library has a tried and tested system that makes a lot of sense and provides for flexibility in how you manage your images. It’s neat and well organised plus it’s represented in an order that makes a lot of sense upon first glance. ![]()
