What's your workflow from digital camera to printed/published photo?


I'm fed up with paying for Adobe Creative Cloud, but it's the best single thing I've used so far for importing, organising, editing and printing/uploading photos from my DSLR.

I'd love to try something else, FOSS or not. Any suggestions?

I am in the process of switching from Lightroom to Darktable [1]. Lightroom seems to have better lens aberration fixing algorithms but I'm still learning Darktable, so, I might be doing something wrong.

Also, I do miss the styles selection from LR... There is a community around Darktable styles [2], but it doesn't seem to cover everything LR does.

On the bright side, Darktable seems very very fast (compared to LR) and the overall process (when you know what to do) is really satisfying.
