Guest • Jan 2016 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Same as lightroom, but the organization is not too simple Guest • Aug 2016 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Lacking photo organisation abilities of Lightroom Guest • Jul 2017 • 1 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree Darktable lacks any photo organization capabilities. They consider this a feature and state you should organize them on disk outside the app. This is a pretty dumb idea since inside the ap, you can't organize, and outside the app you can't see the changes. Any comparison to Lightroom in this case is silly. 1/2 the (organize & develop) capability is gone.
