Screw em! I'll keep using Lightroom 6. Even if I get a newer camera and have to convert my raw files to DNG. I don't care.

@Szilvia

Definitely.

My problem, though, is that I was primarily using Lightroom for syncing (I shoot Fuji and Adobe's results there are mediocre at best).

So, it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade CaptureOne and use their new-fangled sync feature (which does, admittedly, look better thought out) instead. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure which one of us you are talking to, but given Darktable definitely does not do what Baldur needs it to do, I assume you're talking to me.
I'm perfectly happy to continue using Lightroom 6. Darktable was awful when I had a look at it. There is zero chance of me switching to it.

@Szilvia @baldur both :). Darktable has a steeper learning curve I agree. There are also a lot of improvements with the recent versions. I like it mainly because it is open source.

You may want to also have a look at Dxo. It is much more user friendly than darktable and extremely powerful. I used their product for a long while after I ditched lightroom.

Again. No. I don't know why you seem to think I need to stop using an old version of Lightroom that I'm perfectly happy with. The others don't offer me anything better.

@Szilvia @baldur There is nothing wrong with using an old software version as long as you do not want to do anything else.

If however you want to take advantage of new features you may need to move on.

Can we end this conversation please iar? Thanks. I don't need to be educated about software. It's starting to feel like you're mansplaining to someone who probably already knows more than you do.

@animaux @baldur @Szilvia I actually did not know this one. On first glance it looks very promising and it is GPL as well.

I will definitely give it a try.

Thank you!

@iar81b @baldur @Szilvia does it have syncing and an ipad app?

@baldur @Szilvia Capture One is great, plus it arrives as a single app —it doesn’t require its own launcher and half-dozen side apps to function. Also, you can still get a perpetual license.

To be honest I absolutely hated it when I tried it. And I have no idea what people are talking about when they claim it's better for Fuji files. From what I saw when I tried it, it's really not.

Furthermore, what side apps are you talking about? Lightroom does everything I need to do without any plugins or anything else.

@Szilvia @baldur I forget what other applications it installed as I cancelled my subscription about a year ago, but it dumped around 6 additional icons into my utilities folder on the Mac. Plus it requires its own launcher.

Hence why I have no interest in an Adobe subscription. I never even use Photoshop. I'm not into messing around with layers etc. Good old Lightroom 6 supports all the cameras I currently own.

@gavin57 @Szilvia @baldur I got rid of Adobe over a year ago and uninstalled everything but there is still Adobe stuff hiding, running, and occasionally phoning home for some reason. No, I haven't administratively done more than block their phoning home with Windows firewall, yet.

@animaux I thought about being annoyed by the capture one update thing, and decided it was fine. Their six month upgrade cycle wasn't much different, in terms of 'you can't have that unless you pay us more'. I just need to be better at thinking about whether I really need a feature.
