A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

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.

I’m trying out Luminar Neo in hopes of ditching the annual subscription for LR + Photoshop.

You’ll be out even more money. That shitty company only sells abandonware.

They release a flawed product with promised updates and features, then charge you for those updates, and use the money to create their next editing software which you’ll have to buy again also.

This happened with Luminar 4 and Luminar AI, and they just never bothered to fix those programs. Getting a refund from them took effort as well.
