@rysiek While I agree with the sentiment, I’ve tried again and again for over twenty-five years to use FLOSS photography apps they’re generally outright unusable for me

No doubt they work for other people but Gimp, Darktable, and every tool for photography I’ve tried is just UI hell for me, even when they have the actual functionality (which is rare). Even the ones that are somewhat learnable (they’re never actually usable) tend to break on HiDPI screens

Krita and Penpot are great, though.

I get excellent results from using GIMP, Digikam and RawTherapee together. But, as a keen amateur, I don't need commands for bulk editing or high productivity like a pro might need, even though my hobby process is very efficient thanks to #Digikam at the centre. Which is very a powerful DAM, and often overlooked.

Also, be prepared to see GIMP gaining traction as it introduces important new features due soon. Non destructive working is not far off.

@baldur I did not say "please use FLOSS tools", I merely said "consider supporting them". :blobcat:
