Sorry for somewhat unrelated query: is Digikam a replacement for Darktable? If not what's a good workflow between the two? I am a hobbyist photo taker and have only recently started using Darktable and really enjoy using it. However, it isn't a very efficient photo manager in my opinion (I may very well be missing something).

I would say they're complementary. Digikam is more of an all-around organizer and has lots of import/export stuff, tagging, and now good face recognition too apparently (the old one was based on classic Haar cascades).

Darktable is for selecting a series of shots, going through them, developing the ones you want to keep.

Which would you use to replace Picasa (on a Mac) ?

> lots of import/export stuff, tagging

So perhaps closer to Photo Mechanic?

Would you say I replaces iPhoto/Photos on Mac?

Thanks, I will try Digikam too.

Darktable is mostly for RAW processing, Digikam is for organization / tagging afaik.
