In the FOSS realm, digikam is an excellent Digital Asset Management program, darktable is, IMHO, the best Raw editor and GIMP is unparalleled for post-processing. It’s folly and perhaps a bit arrogant to assume that Users would willingly be hobbled by using only one program simply because they are “loyal” to that program.</div><div><br></div><div>Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just all get along….</div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
