digiKam vs Adobe Lightroom Comments
digiKam is good at organizing photos but has nothing to edit or adjust photos and RAW files. It only covers half of the features of Lightroom
digiKam is a photo management while lightroom is a raw photo editor, they have nothing in common
- digiKam is Free and Open Source
- digiKam is Privacy focused
Database functionality - Lots of other pieces of software mentioned are good at RAW processing but few, if any, have a good, structured back-end to organise photos.
