Note
Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/hi-searching-for-optimisation.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Hi all, I’ve been using Darktable on Linux for years, and I’ve been following Aurelien’s trajectory for a couple of versions now.
I’ve noticed that Darktable has more and more features that I don’t really use and some even duplicated… I’ve always thought that software should be optimised as much as possible for better performance and productivity.
So yes, I will be here to use Ansel and contribute to its development and improvement as much as possible.
At the moment I’ve revised all the Spanish translation, let’s see what it looks like in the next versions of Ansel!
