Hi Mika! you might want to have a look to the PhotoFlow plug-in as well, which tries to provide the same sort of Photoshop/Lightroom integration in the GIMP world. It is designed in such a way that you can re-process the original RAW file from the saved XCF by simply re-running the plug-in on the layer that was created by the initial RAW loading. If you have access to youtube, here is a 15mn video that shows how all this works in practice: https://youtu.be/945OnK93C1g >From the RAW processing point of view, PhotoFlow is almost as feature-rich as Darktable, and has even some advantages like LMMSE demosaicing and inputs NR for high-ISO images. > On 30 Apr 2016, at 20:22, Mika Mantere <memantere@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Thanks for the info, Tobias.
