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 remember editing softwares like LR and PS and others being well over $1000 before the subscriptions came out. I’m personally more than happy to pay the monthly fee for the full use of the Adobe suite and they constantly push out updates that you used to have to wait 3-4 years to get.

      Same here. Professionally I have been (and still am) an Adobe suite user for 20+ years and an MS Office user for 30+.

      I can’t remember for how long I had to stick with the same feature set whilst reading of how fantastic and time saving were some newer tools that I could not afford, because at best I could upgrade once every 5-7 years.

      Most of the reasons I am sticking with both suites of software are identical, and none of them is being a fan of either these companies.
