I do also have the RAWs, but haven't played around with them in years. Since I'm on Linux, the software options are a bit limited.

I've tried it, but I have no idea what I'm doing with it.

The last time I used Darktable, everything was either too dark or too grey.

I was comparing the JPEG from my camera to the image resulting from processing the RAW on the same monitor, so it's all relative.

I found some good videos, but I still didn't find the right tool for increasing the contrast and saturation of the trees to my liking, when the bright cloudy sky caused the photo to be underexposed by the camera.
