• Photomator for Mac

  I'm pretty new to photography. I understand a lot of the basics (ex-wife shot as a professional hobbyist for a few years) but never really paid much attention to her editing workflow. Adobe already gets me for $20/mo for Illustrator (because designers) and I looked at alternatives. I've been using darktable http://darktable.org since I got my camera about a month ago and it's nice enough for me. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Nudibranch (Nembrotha cristata), Verde Island, Philippines, April 2023

  Thank you! The shot was gently edited in darktable. More TG-5 / single strobe examples here. Source: about 1 year ago

• I've seen it with Adobe

  No, unfortunately not. But check out the free Darktable app which is similar on darktable.org and also this list https://petapixel.com/best-free-raw-editing-programs/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Exporting a RAW file. Is it possible without the format changing? If I export to another folder on my mac it becomes a .jpeg, to Lightroom it becomes a .jpg, to Photoshop it becomes a .tiff. I want to be able to edit the RAW file, a .dng in another app that is not Apple proprietary.

  It sounds like you might want non-destructive editing. Look at something like darktable.org or Lightroom. You can edit your RAW files in multiple different ways, i.e., effectively keeping multiple copies of edited RAW files around. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software to edit and enhance Photos (JPG and RAW).

  If you're looking to learn more complicated software without having to rent it while you do, there's Darktable. Rawtherapee is another app in the same category, and usually appeals to people who don't like Darktable's interface. Source: about 2 years ago

• iPhone photo quality advice

  You could also use a third party camera app that skips the processing, like Halide or Moment. They give you a lot of manual control. Source: about 1 year ago

• iPhone 13 and up ugly & frustrating Photo post-processing

  Best way around this is to use a third party camera app like Halide. Source: about 1 year ago

• iPhone 13 camera settings

  I really like to use Halide for situations where I want more control over the camera, and it will take RAW images to be edited later. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any tips how to improve night shots? Iphone14pm

  Halide is a third party camera app that gives you significantly more manual control over the camera - e.g. You get to set ISO, shutter speed, and focus manually. Source: over 1 year ago

• The Limits of Computational Photography

  To find the RAW feature you need to do two things: Go to Settings -> Camera -> toggle Apple ProRAW on Then in the Camera app there will be a "RAW" button that you can tap on to enable RAW capture Third party camera apps like Halide (https://halide.cam) focus on just using the RAW capabilities by default. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
