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.

Is there any good alternatives to Lightroom Classic? (alien.top)

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.

One time cost... Every few years ... Hmm

You could buy it right now and keep that license (essentially) indefinitely, with bug fixes made to the latest version (7) for about the next year.

But in a year the new version will likely drop with some improvements. You won't get those unless you pay more to upgrade to the latest version.

So you don't pay a subscription, but if you want the latest toys then you must pay.
