darktable -vs- GIMP

I can’t log into my account on pixl.us

I tried changing my password - nothing works so I hope you get this message.

I don’t see a list administrator to email re: logging in.

Concerning your reply…

When do you use raw photos? Do you create art with them?

It;s not clear to me when I would use a raw photo?

Ex. I take photos to share with a friend to ask how to repair things.
How would a raw photo help with that?

It’s not like my camera take bad photos now.

Thanks.
