Now, they miss deadlines on software, but they are working on a DAM somewhere. I like their "develop" module (with LAYERS!), but need a way to organize photos.Īffinity - They made Affinity Photos, which is so easy to love you'd have to be paid by Adobe to hate it. This is the one I am hoping to be my next choice. No clear statement on other hardware controllers. As an additional win, there will be support for Loupdeck. Supposedly they are going to introduce a DAM "soon." There are hints that it will be here by end of Summer, and some indications that it could drop even earlier. Luminar - I love the Luminar photo processor.
There are some other open source choices out there, but I didn't get around to them. That is not the sort of bug I am quick to forgive. Its been a couple of years, but I remember being grateful I hadn't erased the card from the camera. I also had some serious trouble around "export to web" functionality. On the downside, like many open source solutions, the UI is unintuitive at best, and hostile at worst. It costs nothing unless you choose to donate, and runs on PC/Mac/Linux without a fuss. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't seem any better than Apple Photos while costing more.ĭarktable - Think of this as Open source Lightroom. This is my current solution (with extensions).Īftershot - I tried the Aftershot 2 demo developed out of the former Bibble software. The addition of extensions was nice recently, but it misses out on some options that the $1 plugin had (Portrait Pro, for example). Browsing and culling is just lightning fast (2014 MBPRo, 2009 Mac Pro, daughter's 2008 MBPro, it is just fast). Try it yourself, but it felt - more like an engineering tool than an artist tool, and I do a lot of work as an engineer (not in this field).Īpple Photos - light on features, but faster than anything on this list. I loaded it up, but just wasn't wowed by the Demo. They have some nice cloud sync tools now available, also.ĭXO - I forget what they call their DAM. I am currently considering giving 2018 a go. It took too long to switch from photo to another, or from browse to develop. 2018 is supposed to be much faster, and speed was my biggest complaint here. It didn't offer a good cloud sync option when I tried it, but I haven't looked lately. It is more similar to Aperture than most if not all. It is expensive to buy, but a lot of people love it. Lightroom - besides hating the subscription, I really didn't like the interfaceĬaptureOne - I tried the demo, but will admit I didn't put a lot into it due to time constraints.
I shoot only in RAW except for long timelapses. I ask myself this question at least once a quarter.
