I actually meant to say Capture One and Photoshop. I know this is HN and we're gung-ho about open source but the last time I tried Darktable it didn't hold a candle to Capture One. To be fair that was a few years ago, but the color work put in to Capture One doesn't really have an equal IMO.

not sure when you used it but you should try it again now... i have been on Lightroom and Capture One for years, tried DT last year and never bothered coming back to them, nothing to do with it being open source its just straight up a better raw editor, yes its hard to learn but once you figure it out you will see how much better it handles editing raw images, especially with the filmic module

It has poor support for input formats though. E.g. it still doesn't support CR3. I prefer RawTherapee which supports CR3, doesn't look like a space station and still is miles ahead of Lightroom in terms of capability.
