I'm not saying it can't be done but it's so easy on more established operating systems (Windows and OSX) it makes little sense wasting time trying to set it up in freeware Linux. Good luck setting up a color calibrated workflow in Linux.
#Corel aftershot vs lightroom software
If you do find software the meets your needs for organizing and developing photographs you'll then likely be interested in making prints. Linux is a crap platform for photography and here is why. There is nothing wrong with the version of Lightroom you use now.
#Corel aftershot vs lightroom pro
Despite being a long-time licensed AfterShot Pro owner. Personally, I still use LR 4.x in a Windows 7 virtual machine, because it works best for me. Darktable (if you can wrap your brain around the UI and tolerate the lack of speed) Lightzone UFRaw+gimp Digikam etc. There are much better Linux alternatives.
The long-term users and supporters, plugin developers, and unhappy folks like me ( Quicksand on that forum) are leaving in droves. Go to the AfterShot Pro forum, read a few threads, and drink in the customer dissatisfaction. Their library is buggy and selecting/deleting pictures from it will sometimes result in the WRONG ORIGINAL RAW FILES BEING DELETED from your hard disk - this has affected me personally. Highlight recovery is terrible, and the best you can hope for, in most cases, is a flat gray area with no detail around specular highlights sometimes you'll get pink rings. There are longstanding bugs that they have known about for literally years. They used to have an license with Picture Code for Noise Ninja, but that agreement has expired and it has been replaced with essentially nothing useful. It doesn't have any kind of decent high-ISO noise removal. New cameras go for a year or more without any support. Occasionally there are some signs of life, in the form of posts from Corel employees on their forum, but overall, it's pretty much dead: Sorry Corel, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice. It's essentially abandonware at this point, though Corel claims to support it, and they claim to be working on a 2.0 version. I have been a user since before Corel's acquisition - when it was Bibble Pro. AfterShot Pro is terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible.
