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.

    We used to exchange R1 for $1. Now it is 20 to 1. So paying per month is just too expensive.

      When R1 was $1, a meal at a restaurant with your family might cost R50

      Now a meal with your family can cost R1000.

      It is the value of your currency that has changed, not the value of the software.

        And that is why we cannot afford it. Unless you are doing very well in your photography field, these extra costs simply drain your bank balance.

            Off topic, but that’s just as much a problem with the ignorance of the “rest of the world” as it is OP’s harmless assumption

              Perhaps, but one can’t expect to know the nicknames of every currency in the world, and what the exchange rates are vs. every other currency, etc. OP could have said that they were from SA, and that was one of the things driving their decision.
