Lightroom standalone5/25/2023 I really like Capture One but it's complex and a learning curve - but very powerful and miles better than LR. I don't need it due to the way I sort files and the way I store them. I manually sort my images by in folders so don't want a cataloguing software but for others that is important - Capture One Pro is also very good and has Digital Asset Management. I can understand its not same for everyone.įor what I do PhotoLab 4 is the best software I've ever laid my hands on. Of course, my experience and justification isn't the same as everyone else's. After that I will review if I stay with lightroom and their website). You can also stack the pre paid passes too (I'm paid up until the end of 2023. That means lightroom for me has cost £10-20 a year once I take away what I was already paying for zenofilio. As yet I haven't paid the full monthly subscription cost having paid £70-80 per year so far. The other thing that's made it cheaper is buying a pre paid subscription when they are on offer (usually 2-3 times a year). That was effectively a £60 saving so it made the cost of lightroom less (I was looking to move away from Zenfolio as I'd not been that impressed). I was able to recreate the zenfolio website I had. What made the jump for me justifiable was it comes with Portfolio so you can create a website. I've not got that working yet as my internet speed was far too slow for it to be workable. There is the ability to edit on mobile devices which the standalone version didn't have. One thing is the subscription model is more than just Lightroom as you get Photoshop too (useful if you have a need for it). It took me a few years to move to the subscription (Dec 2017) as it was hard to justify the subscription especially at £9.99 a month. I can understand why people don't want the subscription model. Sadly standalone Lightroom isn't available any more.
