Smart Collections and a faster keywording/tagging experience And most importantly for me, there's the lack of localized edits in NX-D.ĭarktable vs Lightroom is more difficult because I feel they are more evenly matched. It also has what I feel is better resizing algorithm and it's possible in dt to minimize sharpening halos when compared with the rather blunt USM sharpening of NX-D. Another advantage of dt over NX-D for basic raw conversion is that the demosaicing gives me greater detail, and there's colour reconstruction for clipped highlights (both important for landscape photography). However, I don't like the default skin tones NX-D gives me and its orangey reds, but if I did, I could also use a temporary ICM profile generated by NX-D as an input profile in dt (unbreak settings that work for me are linear: 0, gamma: 0.4500 plus a base curve tweak for the shadows contrast). I have a Nikon camera and NX-D has a couple of advantages for it over darktable (mainly auto vignetting correction and auto moire removal). I think that both Lr and dt are great for the intended bracketing/merging/tonemapping purposes, right from raw data. You lose nothing if you try darktable yourself to see if it suits you. Basically I don't need lens correction or camera profiles because I always open NEFs with Capture NX-D, apply settings and export as a 16-bit TIFF.
Can someone post a summary of major differences between these two? I really want to move away from Lightroom and I mostly process high contrast landscape photos which are often bracketed and then merged with Enfuse to a 48-bit (64-bit?) TIFF.
