  • I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

    We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

    Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.



  • Well yes, you can do professional photo work in either, but darktable is not as easy to use. Masking in darktable for example, is incredibly configurable and powerful, but it’s also quite technical, and nothing at all like the AI driven object detection masking that Lightroom uses.

    The ability to overlay masks to add or subtract from each other on a per module basis isn’t something that Lightroom does, so working out how to make the most of it in darktable is a process.

    The scene referred pipeline workflow changes the way many of the modules work compared to similar functionality in Lightroom, and scene referred worklows in general is not the way most photo editing and management software works, so it’s a whole process to learn as well.

    I’m finding darktable better and more powerful than Lightroom, but it is absolutely harder to use, and takes time and patience to understand.

    I think I’m missing something from your perspective here? The idea in this image only works with the players consent at the first step of the process? If the player wants to nix it, they have the chance to do so before it’s ever used in game.

    I saw this meme, and thought it sounded great, so if I were going to bring it to my table, it would have been pretty much exactly in the form I read here.

    How would you suggest that a GM approaches it to get player consent that is different to how it’s laid out here?
