- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am also new to all of this. I found that Gimp will not import RAW files from Canon without an add in software package. I settled on Darktable which will import them with no issues directly. I feel the same way about freeware, why pay for something if there are good free alternatives.
I have also found that any of the editing software has a steep learning curve, for me at least. You also have to have a pretty good system to run it efficiently in my opinion.
I had many of the same questions/concerns that you do and Ysarex, who has had some responses to this thread gave me loads of good feedback.
There are some great tutorials on You Tube regarding Darktable, one is found here. https://www.youtube.com/user/audio2u/playlists
His name is Bruce Williams and he has over 100 tutorials on Darktable.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help with as 1 Newbie to another.
