No. Other than both being raw editors with DAM features, and looking somewhat similar, they have very little in common. Darktable is a powerful and flexible raw processing toolbox, that leaves the user in charge of their workflow and provides a level of power and control that few others can match. This also means that the initial learning curve can be steep, since very little workflow and tool knowledge can be transferred from other programs.

There is only one way, and that is "darktable". All lower case, in one word, except when starting a sentence.

darktable uses GTK3 to create its GUI. We make heavy use of styling to change the look to what you are used to. Unfortunately there were several incompatible changes in the past with how GTK3 handles that. As a result darktable needs to be compiled for the same version of the library as what it's being used with later. Otherwise you risk GTK3 not supporting the stylesheet darktable uses. When you see those red borders that's exactly what's happening.

darktable is developed for Linux, but it was ported to build on Windows. The [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) URCT environment is used to compile the program. Nightly builds are performed in github to ensure the program builds under Windows against the current master code. If you experience problems, please check the next few known issues below specific to the Windows port. If you don't find your answer or believe that you have found a new bug, please report it through our [bug tracking](https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues) system.
