Why I’ve stopped using Darktable and use RapidRaw.
Long time readers of this website know that I have been quite the advocate for Darktable over the last decade or more.

If I Was Buying A Camera For The First Time, This Would Be My Advice To Myself
We’ve all heard it a million times, through friends, camera clubs, magazines and marketing. Start off with a beginner grade camera with a kit lens and take it from there. And for many, if not most of us, we followed that advice. But the advice is wrong, and if I was buying a camera for…
