I just discovered and dowloaded Darktable. I am an avid
advanced-amateur (hobby) photographer who has been bouncing around
Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, Aperture, and Capture NX2
yet still have not decided which I should be using. I actually don't
like to get into "heavy" editing as I try very hard to take a photo
that doesn't require the "magic" of Photoshop to transform a bad
image into a piece of art. I don't want to spend the majority of my
time slaving away on one photo in a attempt to salvage it. I use RAW
and mostly just tweak the white balance, exposure, contrast, shadows,
and saturation. I'm anxious to see if Darktable will fit my needs
with less hassle. My question is: Is the user manual downloadable?
Viewing one page at a time on-line is somewhat tedious and I prefer a
printed version on which I may write notes, hi-lite text, etc. Also,
some emails on the forum have made reference to tutorials but I have
not been able to locate them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
