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.

    Er i dunno just sell a purchase copy once? I know we live in an ultra capitalistic world full of extreme greed, people don’t have to be cheerleaders for it. Especially when it’s the leading art software company who have chosen to lock out a lot of creatives who can’t afford it.

    More complex videogame engine programs like Blender and Unity are free to use.

      like Blender and Unity are free to use.

      Last I heard, Unity has introduced substantial fees for developers.

        Yeah developers. When you sell a game. Anyone can download it and use it. I’m not selling any photo on lightroom. I have no business, it’s a hobby.

        Videogame engines are different, but the principle remains to use basic unity it’s free.

        This is their students and hobbyists Unity on their website:

        Latest version of the core Unity Platform

        Free assets to accelerate projects

        Resources to get started and learn Unity

        Obviously I’ve heard about Unity recently charging obscene amounts but it revolves around sales. It doesn’t cost anyone a penny to download Unity and make a game, once you try to put it on a console and sell it it’s different.

      You mean like capture one? Or do you mean you should have access to all future updates as well?
