Darktable is an incredible piece of software, especially considering it is free and open source. Thank you developers!!

+1! Darktable is simply amazing. I also use it, just on specific photos. RawTherapee gives me good results for the bulk of my photos in less time, which for me it's an important constraint.

In the end it's just great having multiple top-tier free-software options for photo editing, a big thank you to all their developers!

Somehow I missed when RawTherapee added the feature for bulk editing. Thanks for pointing that out in your article. Maybe I should give RawTherapee a new try :)

I'm glad you found something useful from the article. I have discovered ART [0] from the comments here, it looks like a better RawTherapee and I want to try it out soon.

I like Darktable, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get defringe working. It's completely intuitive in lightroom and rawtherapee, but for some reason darktable just doesn't do what I want.

Not sure if it helps you, since you seem like you already tried a lot. I was confused about the different ways to do this, so I wrote down the ways I found: https://makandracards.com/darktable/477993-remove-chromatic-...

Thanks, yeah I think I've tried the first 2 methods. I'm expecting something like an eyedropper to come up where I click the fringing, but I think it's something else I need to do.
