There have been a couple of posts recently about Darktable and I thought these two videos might be useful for some people.
The first goes through Lightroom's tools and illustrates the equivalents tools in Darktable, and the second, in spite of its title concludes that you can't really decide which is better.
Unlike the first video,this second one directly compares processing a file in LR, DT and RawTherapee. The conclusion, from a Professional viewpoint, is that for speed of workflow LR is a core tool, but that RT and DT both offer some capabilities that LR struggles to match. They are both rather long. 39mins and 45mins, but if you are curious about DT, probably worth a watch before downloading the program.
For the second video, it's worth being aware that there is some time spent on changing the base defaults in LR so the starting point better matches the old LR defaults, Which were more neutral, less contrasty and saturated than the current defaults.
