check out darktable.org and never look back :-D

+1 ;)

I tried out Darktable. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. For
instance, never
figured out how to get it to actually output a processed image.

So I dropped it and went with RawTherapee instead. :-)

But neither of them have the speed of the proprietary program,
neither support
using multiple cores, neither have the photo management chops. (Well,
near as I
can tell about Darktable.)

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Darktable has the most un-intuitive and
confusing interface I've seen in any program. A shame.

unlike many other high-quality open source programs, darktable comes
with excellent documentation.

very much like all other open source programs that come with
documentation, nobody seems to bother to read it :-D

I haven't had to consult documentation for RawTherapee in order to do what I want to do with it.

exporting a processed image happens with the "export" feature in the
lighttable view (surprise!).

Where's that hiding? I never once saw it.

and not only does it support multiple cores
where it matters (during batch processing and export), it even does
openCL rendering if your graphics hardware allows it.

if you think it's the most unintuitive ui, try blender for a refreshing
sense of perspective :) powerful programs tend to have a learning curve...

But equally powerful programs that do the same thing as darktable have UIs that make sense and are usable WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSULT THE FINE MANUAL.

Anyway, my on-again-off-again experiences with 3D software (about 5 different programs) has always stumbled on their interfaces. The only thing that helps are ancient memories of engineering and architectural drafting in middle school!

ok, enough ot blabber, i'm a darktable fanboy, and i'll leave it at that
:-D

That's OK. Does darktable have a plugin to turn a RAW photo into a MIDI file derived from the graphic image?

See, now we're on-topic again. ;-)
