Thank you Ivan. If I could code I would love to contribute to DT. I hope one day I learn to code when I retire. In the meantime one of my jobs is teaching photography and imaging through Adult Education classes. One of the programs I recommend and teach is Darktable. Between Darktable and GIMP 99% of my imaging needs are covered. I am like the local ambassador for both DT and GIMP. I am just hoping the legal concerns around CR3 files is resolved so the volunteer coders are not afraid of being sued by Canon. If I was picking on anyone it was Canon and not the great team of developers at DT. I am never going to bitch at someone who invests their time for free developing great programs like DT, GIMP and Rawtherapee.
Also, I apologize to Martin for directly emailing him rather than doing a forum post. It was just an error with my mouse. I posted this response earlier which was meant for the forum: *I am sorry if it came out as a criticism. I really appreciate the effort that everyone puts into DT. It would be a shame if DT can not read CR3 because Canon has not played nicely with the developers. My understanding is that the developers are afraid of legal action by Canon. I am hoping this is resolved. Please don't take offense at a simple question. I do not own a CR3 canon, but I recommend DT to everyone and am hoping that those who have a CR3 camera will be able to take advantage of the great program. I am not sure why my simple question could cause offense and apologise that it did. * Again, thanks to all the developers of DT. Here is one user who really appreciates the great job you have done. Maybe manufacturers like Canon should throw some support your way rather than being a hindrance. You only make the images that their cameras take look even better. I for one won't be buying a new Canon while I can not process the images in DT. Criticism of Canon not DT. On Fri, 30 Apr 2021 at 17:36, I. Ivanov <[email protected]> wrote: > Not everybody can code.
