Darktable is GPL-3.0 licensed, meaning that I would have to attribute Darktable if it was used in the project. I chose C++ because it is extremely fast. I built this because I was frustrated that Darktable had such a high learning curve. No code was copied from Darktable with my knowledge. As for your comments about the workflow, I will look into that and make sure that this project gives credit where credit is due. Thanks for your feedback.

Note after a quick question to Claude: The workflow is inspired by Darktable, but none of its code was copied. This project aims at approachability versus darktable's many features.
