Next to that is that you can find way more tutorials on Lightroom + Photoshop compared to other solutions. But the combination of Lightroom + Photoshop is unmatched for me.
#ADOBE LIGHTROOM ALTERNATIVES SOFTWARE#
Tried multiple software solutions and really liked Capture One. There are many educational videos, I recommend you take advantage of these, cause the learning curve can be a bit steep in the beginning.
But do the backups - C1 will remind you, when it is time to do so.) C1 lets you to backup these very easily from within the program (and you could go back as many versions as you like, if necessary - but chances are, you will never need to. Leave it there! Don't touch it! This catalog contains generated preview images and all your adjustments. If you move them (intentionally or unintentionally), no big deal, but you then need to tell C1 where to find them.Ĭ1 will always create a catalog in a default location. It is your job, to make sure that the files stay were they are. When you import into C1, it creates a pointer to the directories, but does not copy files. My RAW files reside on an external drive, in directories I create myself. I like to manage the files myself (rather than importing them into some catalog that bloats over time).

PS: One of the big decisions you will have to make is, how to set up the library.
#ADOBE LIGHTROOM ALTERNATIVES UPGRADE#
I am still on the 2020 version and don't plan to upgrade until 2023. Subscription is not necessary, unless you MUST HAVE the latest and greatest. There are some adjustments missing (layering is not included, unless I am mistaken), but it gives you a maybe 90% of what you would get with paid for version. The free version actually is very good already. I am a hobbyist/enthusiast so subscription might be overkill for me.Ĭapture1 seems promising, will try it out using Sony free version or if there is a trial.Ĭ1 website is kind enough to give disclaimer that a new version is coming in December and current purchase won't include that. Maybe that's partly taste and personal preference, but I'd encourage you to try it. Not only was it quicker and easier, the results were a noticeable improvement. The real test of that was when, a while after the switch, I decided to try to replicate some of the edits on images I'd worked on in Lr. Once I took the time to do that, and to become accustomed to its controls (it does some things a bit differently from Lr), I found I liked it quite a bit better than Lr.įWIW, I also like the results I get in Capture One better than I liked what I was getting in Lr. I have now stayed with Capture One for several years and I'm very happy I made the switch.Ĭapture One is highly configurable and customizable, both for catalog management and image editing, so it can take a while to get it set up the way you prefer. I am not a professional, just an enthusiast.Īfter using Lightroom for quite a few years, I tried a handful of alternatives and ended up going with Capture One. Looking for advice on photo editing and organizing tool, similar to Lightroom that has the option of buying once, instead of a subscription.
