The free, open source, darktable image editor comes as a good alternative to Lightroom for Windows. And of course it runs on all linux and Mac platforms.
If you are looking for a free alternative to image management and editing such as Lightroom, there are some good news: free and open source software darktable arrived at version 2.4.0 and is finally available for them as well users of Windows.
The darktable was originally released in 2009 and has been used by professional photographers on Mac and Linux operating systems. The software includes a set of photo editing features that help you edit in archives RAW, especially in large sizes.
After some cowardly attempts with the 2.2.0 version, darktable has now been officially transferred to the Windows operating system (64-only only), in this new version of 2.4.0, and as its developers report in their release, they intend to support in the future.
Although it currently lacks some features for the Windows version (for example, no printing support), it has some limitations and comes with its own bugs (the import and export TIFF does not support non-ASCII characters in filenames), overall we are sure it is quite useful and we hope you will enjoy it.
In addition to Windows support, 2.4.0 brings a series of new changes, features, bug fixes, and camera support. You can find the entire list of changes and improvements to company announcement.
