Maybe it's too much of a nieche, but since this list covers a full photography suite, I think these two softwares are to be added: Adobe Lens Profile Creator (same link as the Adobe DNG converter if you scroll down) and Hugin for making your own lens correction profiles.Photography: a "minimal" free list.
For all theanonsfarmers who don't want to use Adobe Lightroom or DxO PhotoLab for photography, I got some "workable" free alternatives that do indeed work on Linux, works great for beginners but if you are "pro" you can ignore this post, ngl you are stuck with LR, DxO or Capture One.
RAW photo editors / "photo developer" software
Since these softwares lack some RAW file support for newer cameras or you might have very obscure camera files, you have to suck it up to at least one single Adobe software if you want a wide camera support for your computer:
- RawTherapee, GitHub (FOSS)
- darktable, GitHub (FOSS)
If you got a bunch of reference photos or images you are "inspired" by and want to have them side by side (good for quick checking your stuff as a beginner to compare your images), I would recommend the following:
- Adobe DNG Negative Converter (well... at least it's free and can be installed and run 100% offline, so the installer can be archived)
Very nieche, only used if you got some old retro lenses that don't have any lens correction profiles online and your only option is to make them yourself.
