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.
I went down this path a year ago. Apple Photos would have been easier but I didn’t want to give up the filesystem based catalogue organization I had - >70,000 pictures over 15 years.
I went with Darktable. There was a definite adjustment period and I think I still have to Google around. Lightroom was easier / I was used to it. But Darktable has seemingly every feature I need and then some.
Knowing my photos won’t be hostage to a greedy corporation is liberating!
