What you have left is the original unedited image and the (now useless) sidecar file. There is no program I know of that will take in the Sidecar file and modify the image other than the original Adobe SW. You can read the original DNG image file. But it will not have any edits ( that you spent hours on) If you were to make TIFF files ( or other, presumably including JPG files) as the output from LR, then those files WOULD contain all the edits. Those new image files would be alterable by any other SW package. The issue is to the original DNG files..... ( or Nikon or Canon or etc. versions ). I think the JPG files etc. are acted upon differently.... I think.....

(as instructions). The original image is not changed/. When nextyou open an image, the instructions are opened and acted upon.. All of this means, they own us forever at $10 or whatever they wish tocharge per month forever. If you stop paying, image edits are lost for ALLyour images. And people wonder why myself, and Nathan and others hate the idea ofsubscription software..
