Topaz (or equivalent) + Darktable should be all you need. It has even one of the best non-AI denoise modules available but IMHO an AI Denoise SW is a mandatory purchase for MFT images in any case. Unless you want to photoshop unicorns in your images or replace sky with artificial starry a** scene, I can't imagine anything that Darktable can't do as far as post-processing MFT RAW images is concerned. Old modules are always maintained for backwards compatibility when new ones are introduces but this is also a huge benefit once you realize that no matter what you want to do, there's always one module which does just that thing with a couple of clicks (after you wasted a couple of dozen clicks in another module which didn't quite cut it) Availability of parametric masks for practically every module is actually something that only Darktable does offer to my knowledge.ĭarktable can be confusing to use because it has several different modules which all can do essentially the same thing. The only way to get even some load is to select AMaZE-demosaic and apply parametric masks on several modules. There are none if you have reasonably recent and powerfull Windows 10 machine. I agree with previous writers about performance issues. The tutorials discussed in other threads will speed you along, especially those by Bruce Williams Photography. Give it a good go before you decide whether you like it, there is a bit of a learning curve. Having said that, I've had no problem adjusting so maybe I'm just a luddite.Īs said, it's free. I guess 'better' is subjective in some cases. I sometimes find their layout and workflow changes to be irritating, though. Because it's constantly under development they will improve modules, or if they are no longer relevant they'll delete.
Their module improvements are always top-drawer. Maybe he's still here but I haven't seen him in a while. There used to be a member here named that was very well-versed in the program, seemed to know a little about the development and code. I have updated fairly regularly as time went along. I started using it 3 or 4 years ago, no idea which version but it was in the low 3's I think. No real performance issues to speak of, although more RAM would be better on the 8. I do on two machines, one with 16G RAM and one with 8G.
