Quick start – A brief but informative quick start guide. I’ve broken it down into a number of areas: With this article I want to make the transition into using Darktable a lot easier for the average user, by referring to other material that will make your life much easier. It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s just it’s sometimes a little different, and has hugely powerful tools and modes which need to be practiced with. I’ve been using and promoting Darktable amongst community’s for many years, and a lot of people download the software, but give up after a short time due to its learning curve. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, and the current stable version while writing this is version 3.4. It gives you full management of your images in its fully zoomabale lighttable view, and all the creative tools you need for a quick and professional workflow.

It is very similar in operation to Adobe Lightroom, and includes both a virtual light table to view all your images side-by-side and a darkroom for your images. Darktable is a free and open source photography application and raw developer.
