That would not happen if the software was inferior. My photos on Flickr have had 5 million views already, and they have been used on quite literally thousands of websites, in books, calendars, videos, magazines, mobile phone apps, and TV programmes. Here we will stick to digiKam and GIMP.Īll of the software that I use to manage and edit my photos is of superb quality. It is by no means a requirement, and I am not going to cover it in this post, rather I will do a separate post about it later. DarkTable is a superb digital darkroom tool that compliments digiKam nicely. Together they are more-or-less equivalent to LightRoom and Photoshop, but if I want to do extensive RAW editing, I add DarkTable to the mix. I use digiKam and GIMP for workflow and editing. But if you have to run Windows for some reason, these tools work with Windows too. I use this for all my work because it is free, simple, and flexible, as well as being more advanced and a lot easier to use than the current Windows 8. For me, I use the GNU/Linux operating system, which is also Free Software, in the Ubuntu distribution. I manage my photography workflow very well with Free Software (open source) tools that cost me nothing, and most of which are available across different operating systems, including GNU/Linux, Windows, and Mac. A frequent lament goes “I would love to have Photoshop and LightRoom, but they are so expensive.” Even if you don’t find them expensive, why not save your money for camera gear? I belong to a number of photography sites and facebook groups, and a common question asked relates to Adobe software tools that are useful to photographers.
