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.

If the support is coming from the community, why am I paying Adobe for it?

[–] GioDoe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I am not paying Adobe for the community support, I did not make myself clear. I am taking advantage of the fact that Adobe has a huge user base, therefore it is a lot easier to get help for very specific issues.

I could save the monthly fee by using some other software (assuming that there is one that suits my needs, which is not the case), but I would have to waste a much longer time to look for answers/help/howto guides because a smaller user base means that specific issues might not have been encountered/solved by others.
