Still a public beta?! Not sure why this is news ... the AI features?

The Lightroom competitor would be a big (and welcome) change to the market if it delivers.

  • The Lightroom competitor working on Linux is a huge news.

    (Darktable doesn't count, it's a scientific software with some wobbly UI).

    • Edit: Still garbage, required 100-lines script and LD_* shim to make it even run at Linux Mint 22.3 on AMD CPU + GPU. UX is even worse than Darktable, don't bother, not even close to Lightroom.

      At this point we need a Kickstarter campaign to make Lightroom run in Wine/Proton (no, no matter how much you try, it will not work so far). Edit: or GSOC to support Darktable to improve their UX.

    • The Darktable hate is real. I guess scene-referred workflows (vs display-referred popularized by Lightroom) are too difficult for most people to grok.
