Note: Darktable, dcraw, UFRaw, RawTherapee, and perhaps other Free RAW processors, all use Frank Markesteijn’s algorithm for demosaicking X-Trans images, so similar results can be achieved with any of them, but we’ll focus on Darktable here because it is, in my opinion, the most capable and mature, and the program I use the most personally.īuckle up and get ready for some crops! Put on your reading glasses if you need them. Is there anyone here who uses it and can give me some opinions as to what it does well and what it doesn't?Īnd for any other Linux users out there, any comments you have re Linux compatible software which works for you would be most welcome.In this article, we will explore the differences and similarities as they relate to image quality, in particular the quality of luminance detail. I've recently started playing with Corel AfterShot which I think is available on all platforms in its present form. However, I assume that in doing so I'd be losing some or all of the benefits of RAW? There are apps for converting RAW to another format so that it can be opened by another program. I've played around with various other options, Darktable is one which is aimed at Linux users and works well with my Nikon but not my Fujifilm which uses a RAW format it can't handle. So far I've managed quite nicely with a mix of irfan view for quickly levelling the horizon or adding contrast and GIMP for anything beyond that. I'm a Linux user which means that some of the common pp software is not available to me.

Hello all, I'm looking for some general pointers & advice here
