Thanks! I've been poking at the various options, originally I tried and discarded Geeqie but gave it a second chance when someone else recommended it (on the Darktable list, actually). I like that it's fast and provides a nice histogram overlay. I wish it did some really really basic photo editing (mostly just exposure compensation) to get a rough sense for how much detail is present before switching to a real editor. I haven't decided between Darktable and RawTherapee -- my impression is that RawTherapee is easier to use, but Darktable is faster and has more features. I'm curious why you claimed that Darktable has fewer knobs and switches, when was the last time you tried it? http://cks.mef.org/space/rtblog/photography/DarktableVsRawtherapee I should probably sit down and really try to process about a hundred images with each. Couple of side notes: * Rawstudio seems to be almost abandon-ware, it's actually the easiest to use AFAICT :-( * Digikam apparently updated their website to use a CDN [*] late last year, which semi-breaks browsing without cookies, and I'm therefore boycotting them [*] Content Delivery Network, basically a kind of network-based cache for websites (handwavy for the people who don't already know what it is).
