Re: gettin my feet wet in post-processsing
Yeah, I am thinking the raw processing will rekindle my love for the D7100!
There's an option for "camera" in white balance in Darktable...
I found the PDF for using the software.. It's pretty good.

I used a D7000 as my primary body until I bought a D750 nearly 2 years ago. Since getting the D7000 I have always shot Raw+Jpeg and have the Raw files save to the primary SD card and the Jpegs save to the 2nd SD card. Usually the 2nd SD card is a smaller-size and slower speed than the primary. I have the best of both worlds that way, a quick JPG I can share, and the Raw I can work with in post.
I also am heavily committed to open-source. I do use Windows currently on the main editing PC, but have used Ubuntu Linux of various revisions over the years. I settled on RawTherapee as my Raw editor of choice. It integrates to some degree with GIMP so you can export a file directly from RawTherapee and it loads into GIMP. You do not edit Raw in GIMP at all. RawTherapee allows you to save profiles and I do that for common subjects that use the same lens and lighting mostly. It can also be used to give a starting point with loading the color tables, lens profiles, and things like that. Feature for feature, RawTherapee does pack a lot of the expected Lightroom tools, but they are not presented in as friendly of a format. But if you don't learn on the Adobe products first, then what you expect to see no longer is a limiting factor for using the open-source software.
And as for archiving stuff, I keep those Raw files and will often revisit an image if I learn something months or years later and process differently. I tend to dump the Jpegs. I store long-term on network-attached storage hard disks.mikeee Thanks/liked this post

My suggestion would be to pick one editor and stick with it for a while. FYI 3.4 hit the Fedora repos sometime over night.
Some links to darktable resources.

Hi,
I downloaded (from darktable.org) and installed darktable-3.4.0.dmg replacing the previous version on my Mac. Surprisingly, it crashed when opening. It never happened before when updating a new version. Wonder if anyone installed Mac new version and got the same problem. Any tips to resolve this issue? Thanks

You certainly can do that within a collection in LR. There is also a way to do between every photo in your LR portfolio, although I can't for the life of me think why you'd want to do so.
When you sync photo editing settings from one photo to others, you can also select which settings you wish to enable with the sync.
It is a useful tool when post processing a set of photos taken under the same conditions.

Thanks, Needa. But the problem on my Mac is not about OpenCL run-time error. It's the same issue reported on darktable website: "Darktable 3.2.1 works fine on my system. Darktable 3.4.0 crashes on startup. Here is the error from Console:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFLocale languageCode]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fb371d00e40'...
Any help?
