Lightroom. There are lots of alternatives for editing some even FOSS but I haven't found any usable alternative to the library of Lightroom...

[–] sporkmagic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

That’s the one. Every alternative wants to compete with the Develop module, but the Library is really what makes Lightroom so useful and hard to quit.

Yes I use Lightroom for my library and DxO Optics Pro for editing. Darktable isn't bad but it doesn't do the job nearly as well as those two softwares.

Yep. I refuse to update my OS because I'm still hanging on to my non-cloud version of Lightroom 5. No way I'd pay Adobe for like the 5 times I use it per year

I don't know if you really need Lightroom, if you only need it like five times a year?
