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 might get downvoted for this but I think a lot of people forget how expensive editing software was before subscription based services.
I think it depends how often you update either the subscription or the standalone.
If I bought DXO Photolab and kept it for 5 years without paying for an update then it’d come out far cheaper than 5 years of Adobe subscriptions.
But those subscriptions would bring me the latest version, where that Photolab license would only count for the existing version (which would be 5 years old at the end).
