I had some help with installing Darktable from the Computer Help For Photographers Facebook Group (by using the Software Manager), and when it turned my RAW files purple I was told that the 1.4 version probably doesn’t support my camera, and to update to a newer version.

Recently I bought a Dell Latitude E6420 from the Free Geek co-op here in Portland, which is installed with Linux Mint 17.1. Now for the past two years I've just been using my phone and tablet for all my internet needs, so now it was time to save up for a computer. Not too long after buying my camera, I find out that post processing your photos in some sort of editing software is actually the other half of digital photography.

This last December I decided to take my interest of taking photos to the next level, and I bought my first DSLR (Nikon D3300), along with the book How to Create Stunning Digital Photography. I ask that you please be patient, as I know very little about computers in general.

I sure hope I can find the answers I'm needing here, as I'm just about at the end of my rope.
