So, when I became aware of DxO’s new PureRAW software, I was interested to see what the new software might have to offer.ĭxO PureRAW promises to give us the best version of our RAW files through pre-processing so that we can then get back to our regular workflow to produce awesome images. But I imagine that there are a lot of us out there who are generally happy with Lightroom and Photoshop and, even more importantly, don’t want to make the huge time investment needed to completely overhaul our workflow. If you’ve done so and are happy moving away from Adobe that’s great. I can understand that desire, but I have no interest in switching over to a completely different catalog and workflow system. For this reason, some photographers have been looking at full-scale Lightroom replacements such as Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, On1, and others. Among them is Lightroom’s difficulty in extracting the best colors, noise profiles, and sharpness from our RAW files. It comes with a small amount of optional cloud storage… just ignore it and continue using your own local storage.Though I’m a longtime Lightroom user (I even produced the popular e-book and video series Lightroom for the Nature Photographer with my good friend Keith Bauer), it’s common knowledge that Lightroom has some limitations. You’ll want the $9.99 monthly Photographer Plan that includes LR Classic and Photoshop. The newer model, now called Lightroom (some still mention CC) has more limited features (although more have been added over time), but is cloud-based. It used to be called LR CC Classic, but Adobe dropped the CC (creative cloud) reference. Apologise for being dim.Īs noted, LR Classic is the old model, updated with better controls.
I find this all very confusing and Adobe do not make it easy. I thought Lightroom CC was the fully cloud based version. I understood that the only cloud connection was for updates, not forced storage. I had come to the conclusion that I need Lightroom classic. I have decided to accept subscription as I do not wish to learn another editor. Agreed the tread has strayed, often happens.
