[Leica] If not Lightroom, ...

[Piers Hemy]

Lightroom is available as an outright purchase, Spencer, you do not need to subscribe. And you do not need to use the latest "troublesome" version, and it is easy enough to backtrack to the earlier release if you wish to avoid the problems which some are experiencing.

It is true that the Lightroom approach is different to that taken by Photoshop, for example, but I find the LR model much more attuned to how photographers think than PS (and almost everyone to whom I have shown Lightroom agrees). The image database is almost a free add-on, although I find it indispensable.

I cannot offer any comparison to Aperture.

Hi Richard,

That maybe be true but my spare time is bit limited right now. I rather not try to learn new S/W package that sounds like bad QA effort during beta. Leaking memory is a pain to track down (been-there-done-that-too-many-times) but no S/W should exit beta status unless that was resolved. Some Adobe excutroid(s) has their bonus depending on the S/W exiting beta.

I can always wait a few months and keep on using Aperture until either Apple breaks it or Adobe gets it’s act together. :-)

Regards,
Spencer

I also hate the S/W rental model that Adobe/MS/Oracle/Cadence/etc uses.
