The biggest fear people have about changing their editing software is not being able to go back and access all that work they have already put into the file. We're hanging onto the possibility of going back to our old edits, instead of looking forward to new possibilities.

Reminder that my discount code for DxO PhotoLab is "EWENBELL15". If you're going to purchase some DxO products feel free to use this code and save yourself some money. I get a little commission as well, which helps keep my YouTube channel running.

And here's a link to my video on how I do my editing, a very simple and easy to follow guide to create the gentle style that you see in my photos:

Not a problem for me, I never learned to edit photos properly in the first place, take that!

(How the fuck does one use Darktable, what the hell do all these words mean, did it just call me a sigmoid?! Someone do a long series of tutorials for Darktable or any FOSS editing software and teach me like a 5th grader please I beg you).

    PewDiePie, a name many on YouTube will be familiar with, moved to Linux and gimp, not because the are better, but because they are good enough and he became increasingly frustrated to have to see advertisement on an operating system he paid for. Having to pay an unsubscribe fee when leaving Adobe also seemed to not have been sitting well with him.

    @hannesw I will never forget when I quit Adobe and they slugged me a bunch if money. They thought they were clever to extract a hundred bucks from me. But instead they made sure I never go back to their brand.

    I'm pretty happy with RawTherapee so far, but Darktable is also a good option. Although I'm just a hobbyist which probably skews my opinion, where you're a pro in this field.
