And often software that I put on a back burner will require me significant effort to get back into. Don't just throw in PR or feature request, but ask: is this welcome? How do you work? Any particular details that you wish me to pay extra attention to (tabs, spaces, tests, documentation, design).Īs a FLOSS maintainer myself, it can be very intimidating to have someone throw a PR at you that rewrites everything (it comes across as: you suck, your software sucks, but watch me fix all that), or that disregards things that I deem critical (tests, architecture) It is really hard to review it, without coming across as an arrogant bastard. Read issues, threads, subscribe to an ML etc. It's a pity that made you give up.Ī general tip, I give to people wishing to contribute to OSS is to first watch from the sideline. I'm sorry you did not stumble into them, but instead in the few hostile ones. It simply has A LOT of tools, and as a result the interface ends up feeling a bit cluttered and confusing to a first time user.There are loads of friendly and welcoming OpenSource communities. If there is one flaw with the software I’d have to say that it boils down to its learning curve. In fact, it is probably one of the better free options that I’ve come across in my travels. General Overviewĭarktable is no slouch when it comes to RAW file processing. Is it for you? I can’t say that for sure, but if you’re like me, and you’re saying – “Did he just say free?” – than why not head on over to Darktable’s website and get your own copy today.
My intention here is to introduce it to you and share with you some of my experiences within the first few hours of opening it up. I’ve only spent a handful of hours with Darktable and therefore by no means have I mastered the workflow and features packed into it.
I’d like to preface this article with a simple disclaimer… I know most everyone loves free stuff and quality RAW file editors are not easy to come by with a price tag of $0.00, so I thought it would be worth taking a quick look at Darktable vs Lightroom here on DPS. Recently I was introduced to a free open source RAW file editor called Darktable.
