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.

This would be my choice too. Does 95% of what LR does, does some things much better, and performance is like 10x.

And the one time cost every few years is awesome

Yeah I do minimal editing now anyways, their raw handling is great and it allows you to apply edits to multiple photos etc like Lightroom, make your own presets.

I do wish their masking was better developed, that's my big gripe right now. Control Points are great but a little more fiddly than some of what Lightroom can do so easily ('select subjet' etc.)...

Yes I’d agree with that
