@adventure_tense @wimi I was indeed considering DarkTable. But my starting point was a good DAM; catalog sw and one important feature I wanted was face tags. Not at least as I have started to digitize old family photos. DarkTable lack that feature, at least earlier. DigiKam can do "all tasks" but I think less good at raw conversion/edit. One reason for trying RawTherapee is that it is focused on that, and it was also easier as a beginner not to mess up sidecars, RT has its own pp3 (not xmp).
