darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.
That only helps people who know what Adobe Lightroom is for.
In short, Darktable is a tool to generate images out of camera raw image formats. (Edit: You can think of Raw image formats as “kind of” source code for images, which requires to be interpreted as a traditional pixel based image format to be displayed.) The workflow is much different from a traditional image editor.
