Darktable

For photographers who shoot in raw format, Darktable is an excellent free alternative to Adobe Lightroom.

Created by photographers, this open-source software offers nondestructive editing, allowing you to make adjustments without altering the original file. It includes advanced features like color-grading and lens correction.

It’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It’s a powerful photo manager, offering face recognition and tagging, and photo-organization features such as the ability to create albums and collections complete with tags, labels, ratings, geo-location data, and more.

There’s support for a wide range of image formats, including raw files, and it uses a database to catalog and quickly access large collections of photos, making it great for photography enthusiasts and professionals who need a comprehensive tool to manage their digital-photo collections.
