![]() ![]() I used only Lightroom but decided to give Capture One a couple of months ago. I mainly wanted the clone/stamp tool but find I likely could have done without as it is not a tool that I have found easy to use but that might be due to lack of knowledge. odt from LO.Īnyone who has not used PSX, there is a free version that one can try with most functions available and the cost is only $40 US for an upgrade. Not sure how to go about sharing the file and have to see how it looks in. There are many good things about PSX but the lack of Layers except under some circumstances, lack of History, lack of Histogram certainly distracts from its usability but so far I have coped.Īny other PSX users that know of a means to communicate are more than welcome to send an invitation.Īnyone interested in the user manual/tutorial to view and comment about as it is almost ready. I just would like to find a forum or such similar ability, email directly would be useful, to communicate with other PSX users. ![]() I have zero need to make this a “job” as I have been retired comfortably for almost 22 years. If I find someone that has access to providing the info, it will be provided. Currently I am using PhotoScape X Pro and have been creating a Libre Office 7.2.2 user manual/tutorial because there is very little available to learn the program. I’m happy with Darktable, and combined with Photoscape X Pro, it’s perfect for getting the things done I need to do, and I need to remember that!ĭT is not a program I have used but have used MS Digital Image 2006, ON1, Luminar, Affinity Photo, Photolemur etc. I have used many other packages on my computer from Luminar, Aurora, Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One and more, all with no performance issues or major bugs. Of course, it’s strange that ON1 is so good, yet suffers with so many issues. It’s been a joy to get back to Darktable and do what I love doing best. Using a development version of Darktable () has proved more stable, much faster and given more control over the images, with no issues in editing, masking or saving. The strange thing is, with each new update, something gets fixed, and something that worked fails! It’s a never ending battle that just takes up too much time, and time is money! I don’t seem to be alone with this, various groups I’m in have people having endless issues. ![]() Slow saving – Saving images is possibility slow, and can takes minutes per image saved.Saved images corrupt – If you’ve used layers, quite often a saved image doesn’t save correctly.Batch saving issues – When batch selecting images to save, they sometimes simply refuse to save any actual images, even though it’s gone through the process.Image blacking out – When moving certain sliders in various modules, the image you’re working on sometimes blacks out for no reason.Unacceptable complete crashes – ON1 has a habit of just randomly crashing on my computer when I just expect it.As soon as you start using masks (which I do quite often), things can grind to a halt. ![]() Sluggish once you get started – At first, ON1 feels really fast, but after a while, the program just feels sluggish.Here are just a few of the many issues I ran into that made me leave it (and I will only use it for certain things if needed). Thirdly, but by no means lastly, it’s feature packed, and you rarely have to use another image processor to finish it off.ĭarktable has all those things I mentioned about ON1, however, I’m sometimes a bit heavy handed with sliders, and Darktable doesn’t allow as much room for error as it’s got a lot of power under its hood, and this was frustrating me! That’s why I find ON1 slightly easier to use when flying through images and editing them.īut, I’m back with Darktable, not just because it’s an excellent program, but because ON1 kept giving me no end of grief, making simple tasks harder than they needed to be. You have access to all your images, can compare them etc and if makes the workflow so much easier for myself (I’m a fan of these views). Secondly, the cataloguing, light table view is perfect. Usually, a few little slides of the sliders can bring out the details you need, quickly and easily! After all, they’re commercial software, so should be amazing compared to free software! Over a month ago I decided to live full-time with ON1 2022, but I’m back to Darktable, and here’s why…īefore we get into why I am back with Darktable, there are a few reasons I actually love using ON1 editing software.įirstly, the way it handles shadows, mid-tones and highlights is really impressive. I’ve been a longtime user of Darktable, but there are spells where I decide I’m going to use the paid for software that I own as my main editing packages. ![]()
