My go-to mood enhancer

I love editing in Lightroom, and occasionally Photoshop. They're my first port of call, and probably always will be. But that's just where I start. I feel like my best work isn't finished until I've brought it through the Darkroom process. I have my own presets that I work from and I love them. The only criticism I have is around pasting edits - I have my presets set to, say. 42 percent opacity, but when I apply the filter, the opacity is defaulted to 100 percent. I have to manually adjust the opacity in at least one image before copying and pasting the preset onto my gallery. Outside of this minor annoyance, I love the ability to create my own "film," so I continue to use the app regularly.
All-in-all disappointing

I was really hopeful that Darkroom would be the right application for me to finally get off of my dependence on Lightroom for photo editing, but over the course of the past year that I have been trying to integrate this app into my workflow, I have been stopped by the clunkiness of the application and the sheer amount of bugs that exist in the editor. Just today I attempted to crop my a photo, and not a single one of the built-in aspect ratio’s worked properly. It just went between 2:1 and 3:2 no matter what I selected. Edits do not sync properly and more often than not, when applying saved presets to a photo I have to apply the preset multiple times before the white balance and additional settings can be properly applied. This app has great potential, but it just isn’t there. I WANT to never have to open an Adobe app again, but right now I can’t do that.
Great integraation. Still waiting on a few improvements.

I've been a Darkroom user since the early days. It has really come along way and is an incredible tool in its current iteration! I think a ton of users will be stoked on it just the way it is. I am a working professional a still need to see a few improvements to really be able to embrace it.1. It still tends to be buggy.2. On my Mac the displayed image while editing is a bit blurry. When you zoom in the image clears up....but their default editing image is not sharp.3. The presets are almost all a bit too extreme for actual work...(I have to back them down to about 50% for them to become usable.) It would be nice to see some more subtle presets.4. The Smart Masks are great! But we need to be able to use them on non-portrait and ProRaw images.My main overall issue, is that I know bringing an image into Darkroom is going to equate to a bit of work to get my final edit the way I want. I know that I can go into Lightroom and have what I want in a few clicks...I can't say the same for Darkroom.I love Darkroom. I love what they're doing. and I really feel like they are close to something revolutionary....and theyre getting closer and closer. I'm rooting for Darkroom. I'm a big fan. Download it!!
