Whoever bought into the whole cloud crap won't care.
I care, but I don't know how else to edit my photos on my phone and seamlessly back them up.
I use Lightroom on a Google Pixel. It costs $10/mo for a terabyte of storage and an editor that's constantly being updated. I'm not arguing that it's the best option, I just don't know any solid alternatives.
If anyone else has a solution this use case, essentially the same as someone who wants to leave Google Photos' storage/editing suite, I'd be happy to ditch Adobe.
Edit: a word
Use proton drive and use a separate editing software. Something like Photomator for example. There are tons of editors besides Lightroom.
I'll look into proton drive. Thank you!
I’ve been using them for a few years and it’s been flawless. Zero downtime or crashes, the apps are great and sharing links is clean.
Photomator is iOS only. Afaik, there aren’t that many great alternatives on Android. There is snapseed, but that’s google and if they’re looking to get off Google/Google photos, snapseed isn’t any better than just sticking with Lightroom.
There are a few options available with a quick search: AirBrush, Bazaart, InShot Photo Editor Pro, LightX, Motionleap, PhotoDirector, Photo Editor, Photo Effects Pro, Photo Lab Picture Editor, PicsArt ,YouCam Perfect ,Pixlr ,TouchRetouch ,Vimage etc
Most phones have a built in editor as well. But honestly if you are getting serious with photo editing you’re better off getting a laptop with a bigger screen. Makes a huge difference editing.
Thanks, I'll probably just go back to Snapseed, unless one of those is a standout for design, privacy, power and simplicity.
I actually really enjoy mobile editing in Lightroom, the only mark it misses now is privacy.
I have LR installed on my laptop, but never use it. Obviously, there are drawbacks. I wouldn't want to draw paths in Photoshop on my phone, but for quick crops and color corrections, I work faster and more efficiently on my phone. I also can do it in my spare moments, rather than sitting down to dedicate an evening to editing.
I use digiKam as the replacement for Lightrooms photo management tools.
I used darktable as a replacement for Lightroom's photo editing tools.
I use a hosted Photoprism install for making the photos available online, sharing with friends/family etc.
This is almost what I do, but could you elaborate on how you use digicam for management?
Digikam has really strong tagging, searching and workflow tools. So I import to Digikam, sort by quality, reject/approve and tag in Digikam, and I use it to launch specific photos in to darktable for editing.
