Hi,
I know this is kind of 90s these days, but it might make sense to take a
look at the darktable manual to get an understanding on the concepts and
modules.
And NO, darktable is no plug-in replacement for Adobe Lightroom. It is a
different program with different concepts, strengths and usage.

Highly recommended also the tutorials that Bruce Williams makes:

And: you should consider to get a look at the darktable section of pixls.us:

Cheers, Martin

I have downloaded and install it now. And it works with X100V files. I guess I
shall play with it for a while. It does not seem to be straight forward like
Lightroom to me, but it is a new concept.
For example, does it keep a catalogue? If so, where is it?
Thank you for your help.

The Mac package works just fine. I’ve installed dt on MacOS using the Mac
packages up to and including Catalina.
My current installation of dt using the Mac package is very stable. So
I have no hesitation in recommending it to you.
Download the .dmg here:

Enjoy!

Actually I use Mac, which encourages the user to be idiots. There is a
Mac version of Darktable, but I have been advised not to install from that. Instead I need to go through a process which involves quite a bit of command lines. That is why I think it is complicated. I guess I can try it
step by step.
On the other hand, the main reason I want to switch is because Lightroom 6 does not support X100V raw files. I have tried Adobe DNG convertor a
few weeks ago and it did not work either. I am glad to hear that Darktable
works for X100V.
This is a great group. I shall keep in touch with my progress.

I am a photographer and have been using Lightroom for many years. It
works fine for me. But I am really put off by the subscription model and have stuck to Lightroom 6. Recently I bought the Fujifilm X100V. It is like going back to the days when all I had was a beaten up Leica and a 35mm
lens. I can concentrate on the photo instead of the equipment.
But Lightroom 6 does not support X100V raw files. I have to subscribe to get
the update.
I am thinking of changing over to Darktable. Does it support X100V raw files?
Also, it seems that installing Darktable seems dauntingly complicated. Is there
a simple workaround?
Thank you for your help.
