I’m a big fan of open-source software. One of the open-source projects that I like a ton is Darktable. Darktable is basically an open-source replacement for Adobe Lightroom. Darktable is very powerful.
I’m still learning the process of good photo editing. There are lots of support documentation and Youtube videos on using Darktable, but I’m still looking to find a really good, basic photo editing class/tutorial.
Recently, I found an issue with Darktable not fully displaying menu popouts. However, since this is open-source, there are lots of supportive folks out there. I found that someone else was also having that issue. They had a fix.
A quick download, and, uh-oh, it won’t open. Again, there is a lot of support. The fix is to allow the application in Apple’s Quarantine list. So, open the Terminal, and paste the following;
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/darktable.app
Now I’m all set. Darktable once again displays full popout menus. I don’t have to pony up my $10-$50 per month to Adobe.
