Mountains in the front, mountains in the back

I only use Rawtherapee… Last year I set a winter time goal of learning some new software, and went for RT. I did try DT, in fact I still have it on my laptop… I like to edit my vacation and local interest shots, from my old Panasonic GF2 with various lenses, and RT does a great job. I also like the dev version with a few new tools… But I’m still learning and each play raw helps just a little bit more; thanks again for the opportunity.

Perhaps another winter I’ll learn DT… But for now I’ll stick to RT; the powerful pre tone mapping tools (global spot with Shadows/highlight and tone equaliser set to either Michaelis Menten or Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch) do a fantastic job of setting everything up with a solid basis for making subsequent changes to exposure, lightness, chroma and contrast with ease, not forgetting the latest colour systems CIECAM CAM16 where you can play with red green blue saturation and hue etc…

Of course darktable does all things things… but I can’t speak with any knowledge of the pros (or cons if there are any). It’s just I have learnt the basics of RT and am still improving (I hope).
