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.

LR just came out with a big update. I'd keep it.

Yeah plus if you have presets plug ins know the shortcuts. As someone who can drive blind in light room classic sadly it is what it is. Same with photoshop. Would I love a non subscription service sure. Am I going to throw away 17 years of training and learning to use it. No

The widespread use of Adobe in schools, and the student pricing is exactly why they have you.

Yep they got me young. And at this point it Could be a big learning gap. Plus all my past projects I use stuff from would also go caput. I hope they don’t charge like crazy for the basic ai stuff. Because it’s still super beta
