      I never used Rawtherapee, seems to be a good tool too. I used Darktable years ago for couple of years when I was into photography. It’s fantastic and got better since. While the main focus is on raw editing and developing, it is also good enough for other image related editing. Darktable obviously is similar to Lightroom, for some even the better tool; I can’t compare them, never used Lightroom.

      It has fantastic masking features for every effect, meaning it would only affect what is not masked. You can draw a mask with mouse, set by complex parameters, and other ways to set this up. This extended feature landed after I stopped using Darktable daily (as I stopped photography). It’s worth wile checking out.
