The pampered idiots that suggest these things would literally not survive a year of actual work at 40 hours let alone what they propose

I’m not sure I agree. I did move to DarkTable but the organization side is much rougher than something like Lightroom.

That said I would never go back. Switching to darktable’s scene-referred workflow was almost like switching a chemical process. People looking for a 1:1 with LR or C1 will be disappointed, but darktable’s tools and masks can do so much more than either of them. I feel limited working with LR now. I also don’t use AI at all in my work so I don’t care about those features

And even can support RAW data. This will be such a huge benefit to still photographers. Multichannel data also allows scientists and astronomers to have access to a lot more data in an image file (plus alpha for transparency), even animation. Really is next level.

Based on what? There is tons of amazing art being produced in every region of the world. More than any time in human history.

You people are fucking delusional. “Human creativity” hasn’t fallen because some venture capitalists push their fake music up a list that doesn’t even mean anything.

Only it fucking hasn’t.
