I guess you are going to weep: https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2017/12/6-14-now-av...

I'm fine thanks. That's lightroom 6. Lightroom 7 (lightroom CC Classic) will be continuing just fine as a non-cloud product.

It's subscription, rent-seeking based now. I won't call that non-cloud. Cloud is useless anyway as it doesn't allow to upload RAWs and they obviously slapped it on Lr to justify switch to their individual user hostile model.

Yes, sliders are really a pain. However from my experience it's much more convenient to move sliders with keyboard arrows (hover a mouse over slider and use the arrows). it still sucks, but sucks less :)

Did you try the middle mouse button click on the Darktable sliders? That's a great feature which gives you much more control over the sliders.

Ah. wow. At the time I had a mouse it didn't work that way. Nowadays I use trackpoint only and even have no physical mouse at all. But that's good to know there's a progress. Thx.

What kind of camera are you using? I've been trying _hard_ to switch from Lightroom to Darktable and so far I have been failing to even match the output of in-camera JPEG engine of my Canon 5D Mk4... The skin tone is just not there... like it knows what highlights are and what shadows are but loses something in the middle. Well-lit RAW are fine, but when the light is challenging I always get better results in Lightro…

I'm using a Canon Rebel T5i with Magic Lantern. It gets tones really well for me. Sorry it's not performing for you well.

I tried installing ML on my T5, but then it was stolen by roommates. How long have they supported T5i? It seemed to be a very convoluted process, and I had no luck, but also mine was T5, not T5i.

It's been said on Darktable's site and in here that it's not an option for maintaining a catalogue of photos. What would be a good companion app then?

Until I figure something out, I'm waiting for Luminar or whatever Lightroom competitor that Affinity Software is going to come out with later in 2018.

Love the Affinity products, just wish they'd support linux.

Not sure how long it's been supported. At least 2 years! For me it was surprisingly easy actually. I just copied the files over to the SD card, inserted it, and ran Firmware Upgrade from the camera menu. It worked great and I love the intervalometer and other neat features.
