Until two days ago I didn’t know I could contribute to this thread, as I have been for a few years now a happy darktable user.
But as I’m looking to replace my shitty Fuji camera that I’ve started to hate with a Canon mirrorless, I was aware of the inability to read .cr3 files in dt. So I downloaded Art just to check a few raw files made with Canon EOS RP, R5 and R6 that I got off dpreview.
And well, apart from my evaluation of the Canon files (*), I was truly impressed with Art! A nice UI, fast and responsive, no need to dig into manuals to understand how it all worked, I was able to modify and make a truly nice black and white conversion with grain and mood in no time for example…
I mean, the point of all this is to say: good work @agriggio!!! (and of course all the RT developers out there…)
If I hadn’t already invested time and resources into organizing and tagging my library in dt, Art would be my first choice! And even if I struggle sometimes to recommend dt to friends and people that are not nerds as me, I’d have no hesitations in recommending Art instead.
(*) I can’t believe that people truly believe that Fuji files are better than these full-frame Canons! And I’m referring to the EOS RP, the ugly duck…
