However, I have used Photoshop when I was in school and the good thing about using darktable is you learn a lot of underlying logic, rather than one button/slider that does things for you. So my experience with pixel editors is extremely limited. But for anything more, I use Gimp for layers, a bit of masking and that is about it. darktable is my primary Raw editor and most of the pixel level edits can be simply done within dt. As you can see, I do not stick to one tool and I like to play around tools. I have been pretty much using RAW editors for a long time and my Go-To tools are Capture NX-D, darktable, RawTherapee, DXO and recently Capture One Express. While I will discuss some aspects with regards to other tools, I want to be sure you may feel free to add any corrections towards any reference without prejudice.

After using for a few weeks, I felt it will be good to share a user review.īefore I begin, I do not use any Adobe products and hence there will be no comparisons. Even though I do not use pixel editors much, and did not have enough time to trial, I just bought it and kept it aside to see if it can help me. Around May I saw some chatter around Affinity Photo being on sale.
