The process in Darktable is different: Darktable’s tools are good at addressing issues one at a time. Algorithmic quality of the standard highlight/shadow recovery is not brilliant, either, and sometimes I struggle with getting colors to look right. When it doesn’t work, you need to start digging into which combination of weirdly-named tools can undo each other sufficiently to reach the result you like. Instead of faffing with multiple modules and masks, I adjust exposure and contrast, then hit the “AI accent” and maybe “Color pop”, and be done with it. I often find Luminar’s tools great one-click solutions. This dichotomy between intuitive/easy and analytical/simple makes for a fascinating comparison. Darktable, in contrast, is all about “analytical” editing, where tools are as orthogonal and simple as possible. It provides easy tools that do many things at once towards a common goal. It goes all-in on “intuitive” tools such as the “mystic” slider. Luminar is perhaps the antithesis of Darktable. ![]() Most goals can be accomplished with most software if you know your way around them.
