When I first opened DT, I had no clue how to start, I needed some help. This course provided exactly what I needed for my first project. Of course, I did not become a master overnight, but it I am heading to the right direction now."-Gergely L. | 5-star rating"I'm working on nighttime photography and found this to be very helpful."-Yvonne J. | 5-star rating"Excellent clear presentation."-Guy W. | 5-star ratingLifetime AccessIt's time you finally mastered RAW photo editing and Darktable! Join over 600 students and enroll today for lifetime access - including access to future content added to the course.
