Since some time I’ve searched photos related apps, to edit and take pictures but I’ve not found anything interesting in open source… Does someone has an explaination?

I recently discovered Image Toolbox, it has the best editing capabilities of any FOSS Android app I’ve seen so far. That being said, if developing RAWs is something you need as well, I don’t think there exists anything besides Google’s Snapseed and Lightroom mobile.
As for taking pictures, I quite enjoy OpenCamera, but there’s not much else than that.

Image Toolbox + Aves Libre is my current setup.
I known this app but it’s not really complete, yes it has some really great features but lacks some features like light… And OpenCamera is good but not great

As far as I know, it’s all we have right now

Samsung have Expert RAW for their (high end?) phones. That’s probably Samsung only though.
- noodlejetski ( @noodlejetski@lemm.ee ) 4•4 months ago
it’s closed source.
- Baggins ( @baggins@beehaw.org ) English2•4 months ago
Thought so. That was my point.

Does someone has an explanation?
companies that have the most money and resources to improve image processing don’t want to disclose their findings in order to keep their advantage over the competition.

Darktable is pretty powerful, though it’s not as easy to use as Lightroom

It’s the same UX. Not sure how one would be less easy to use than the other just for different nomenclature & things being in slightly different locations.

Well, that’s always the case when switching to a new piece of software
- Ada ( @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•4 months ago
It’s very different. They used to be similar years ago, but now darkroom is its own thing.
Scene referred processing, parametric masks and many other modules that have no equivalent in Light room.
- toastal ( @toastal@lemmy.ml ) English1•4 months ago
They don’t have to be exact. They follow the same design language for editing & you can do professional photo work in either… it took me a couple of weeks to get comfortable in darkroom, but this was over a decade ago. When I oversee folks using Adobe software, it looks close enough.

Avariy was pretty good. Then Adobe bought and killed it. It’s still possible to download it, but a lot of the free stuff, filters and etc are missing because they shut down the servers.
