Re: Lightroom alternatives?

[Gregory <fyrframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that Adobe is taking away their programs from the general public. I don't have a need to subscribe to any program I am not at the level of activity that would constitute trying to use these now very expensive programs.

Here is a website of archived programs and downloads. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html?promoid=2K4PCJ2R&mv=other

I'm still using CS2.

Lightroom Queen addresses many of your fears. I tend to agreee with all she says. I’ve been using LR for 10 years and I’m not giving it up. I’ve been on a cloud subscription for two years now and it’s great.

With Lightroom going to subscription only, are any of you switching to an alternative programme? 

Do you have any experiences with Affinity photo?

The subscription seems to be even more expensive here in Europe than in the US and it seems to me that Adobe is pushing customers generally in the direction of the cloud solution.

I know they are promising to continue support  for the "classic" version, but then didn't they also promise to continue selling non-prescription versions?

Apart from the price of the subscription I am feeling more than slightly uneasy about having no control over the programme and (in the case of the new "CC") even my own data.
