You can import your images from their current location on your drive or copy them straight from the memory card to the desired place. There’s a place you may find similar to Lightroom’s “Library”. As for the “3d LUT” folder, everyone has a different location, so if you use LUTs, you may tell darktable where to look for them on your hard drive. In the “Processing” tab, reflect my settings. To follow my workflow, after installing darktable, first you need to click the gear icon and look into preferences:

My goal is to give you a nice jump start using my experience and idea of how to quickly and automatically get a nice, crisp image, alter it with some classics like graduated or radial filter so you could go even with hundreds of images like a breeze… and then experiment as much as you wish! The rest of the article will be similar to a tutorial, but bear in mind – darktable is an extremely powerful and (can be) complex application. Intel i7-3770, 16 GB of RAM (DDR3) and GTX 1050 Ti, but it handles 16 Mpx RAFs from Fujifilm X-T1 and 20 Mpx Canon 6D files really well. My current setup is far from being modern: 3rd gen. It really depends on if you use maths-heavy functions (modules) of darktable and how many megapixels your images have. To have it run smoothly, it is advised to work on a machine with at least a quad-core CPU, more than 4 GB of RAM and dedicated Nvidia or AMD GPU with OpenCL enabled.

It’s a cross-platform app – you can download it for Windows 64-bit or MacOs by visiting the site: or have it installed on your Linux machine right from the repository of your distro. As is the nature of OpenSource, everyone can share his or her voice, effectively shaping the future versions of darktable. via forum, and believe me, they’re walking encyclopedias about physics of light and colour theory. Speaking of developers, you can reach them really easily e.g. It is free of charge – you don’t have to pay for a license key, subscription plans, or anything, though you may support the developers by making a donation if you wish.

Since every seasoned amateur or pro photographer has heard about big players on the market as Lightroom or Capture One, I’d like to share with you my concepts of usage and basic workflow with darktable.ĭarktable is an OpenSource application to manage your photos library and develop raw images. It’s perfectly fine, but sometimes we like, wish, or have to deal with RAWs.

We all like to have our Provia, ClassicChrome or ClassicNegative film simulations at hand or maybe even use so-called “recipes”. Surely many of us adore the output of the Fujifilm JPG engine.
