Hi there!

I am looking for a software for a low spec notebook that I can use when traveling for organising photos from my camera. I basically just want 2 things for the low spec device:

  • Backup photos ( .RAF files from my Fuji X-S10 with 55 MB per photo).
  • Rate photos (1-5 stars) in a way that I can use the ratings in Lightroom afterwards on my Mac, without using Lightroom itself on the low spec device

After I return home from traveling I want to:

  1. import photos to Lightroom and convert them to .DNG
  2. use the star ratings I previously set on the low spec device in Lightroom

Does anyone have an idea which software to use on a low spec device? Ideally it’s a free software.

Thanks and kind regards

    I have the same camera and you can choose to shoot lossless compressed to help the whole process and use Capture One for Fuji to edit. It’s really light, I think, and it’s free. Give it a try.

    If you have a lightroom license you can also use bridge.

    I have a low spec laptop that I used for more or less the same thing when I was in Spain, it was nothing more than a glorified back up drive. As long as you don’t want to do any editing and aren’t in a rush you don’t need anything special. I ran lightroom on the laptop, it struggled but it did the job.

    I can’t even tell you the spec for the laptop, it was a refurb bought at work for €500 about 4 years ago and I bought it from the company for something like €200. So it was never anything special.
