We don’t want to pay Adobe anymore, so my Dad is looking for an replacement for Lightroom Classic.
He has over 4500 photos in Lightroom and we want a basically drop in replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT1: Also, how do we transfer photos out of Lightroom?
EDIT2: All photos are locally stored.
Why would you lose decades of digital images? Only if Adobe fix it so you rely on them. All i want from a photography edit program is to bring in photos, edit them, save them into my own folder, done. I don’t want Adobe to make a digital copy that’s saved in their cloud ‘so i can access it on another computer’. Because it just means i can’t access that photo when I’m offline and spending time in my campervan i am often offline. I’d copy the photo, rename it, still couldn’t open it again to edit. It’s nice being to able to go through hundreds of photos sat there unfinished in lightroom but that’s it.
But that’s a shit system designed to trap you into Adobe. I have photo, i open photo in program, i edit photo, i save photo into my desired folder on my computer, that’s it, that’s all i want.
I don’t think £10 a month is value for money at all, at least something like Netflix will put new films and tv up they’ve financed. With Lightroom I’m paying for access, that’s all. I use 1% of it.
