darktable como alternativa Linux a Windows Photos

Nuestra opinión

darktable is a solid replacement for Windows Photos for users who want more than basic viewing and editing. It covers most of the core tasks—viewing JPEG/PNG, cropping, rotating, resizing, organizing, tagging, and batch processing—while adding advanced raw support and a non‑destructive workflow. It is ideal for photographers who need higher quality edits or raw files, but it is heavier than Windows Photos and lacks simple video playback and basic slideshow features that casual users expect.
