darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer intended to be a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers.

darktable includes hints when you first run the app which you may find useful. You'll begin by importing images or collecting images from folders, cameras, and a couple of dozen other possibilities. We noticed GIF images aren't supported, and there's no right-click option when you import. You will find many small icons in the main window as well that you can discover by mousing over them. Since there's no File menu available, this is a must. For example, the G icon reminds you of the G in Google, but the G stands for "collapse grouped images."

Once you've loaded your photos, you can choose the lighttable or darkroom to make any changes.

Lighttable features geotagging, styles, metadata editor, tagging, and more.

darkroom features exposure changes, shadows and highlights, brightness, saturation, and more.

darktable is without a doubt geared towards photographers. We admit to being a little lost, not being photographers, but the wealth of features feels like a professional application. 64-bit is recommended.
