Wich Software are you using?

Our take

Dear Community, As a passionate photographer with over 15 years of experience, I have relied on Lightroom for importing, adjusting, and managing my images. However, I'm not fond of the subscription model and am exploring alternative software options. While I'm aware of choices like Darktable and RawTherapee, my primary concern is finding a solution that allows me to import my Lightroom catalog without compromising the integrity of my edits. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for software that can deliver a similar rendering quality.

Dear Community,

I'm into photography since more than 15 years and always used Lightroom to import, adjust, and manage my photos.

Somehow I dislike the abo model and am looking for alternatives. Yes, I know there is Darktable, RawTherapie etc, but I need something to import my LR catalogue in a way that the images look more or less the sams (xmp defines e.g. shadow increase - but then the new software should also render it execatly as in LR).

Any suggestions?

Free app to view and organise photosI am not a photographer, but an art historian and take lots of photos while on research trips. Good quality, detailed photos can be so valuable. Lightroom has been great to edit in raw and get colours and contrast right, edit photos taken in dark rooms etc. But my work has changed and I don't go on trips that often and mostly work with ancient sculputures (no colour editing required!). I now just put the photos in a folder, don't really need raw anymore, and only use Lightroom to make collections and to simply browse through them, select some good ones etc. For example I'd make a collection for a set of photos I'd be using in a project. I am not sure I should be paying £120 a year for the Adobe subscription for this. I work on a mac and wonder if I could save some money and just use the finder. can anyone recommend some alternative, free and easy to use, apps that help view and organise photos (without moving them from locations and inside an app)? The collection feature is quite handy.... Thanks!! submitted by /u/Fun_News5524 [link] [comments]
