[Leica] If not Lightroom, ...

[Richard Man]

Correct. I refuse to use Cloud software unless I am absolutely being forced
to.

Mind you, we are considering a Cloud model for our own software products
but we will not do it the ways most people do it - if we adopt the model,
it will just mean that the users will not get free updates. The existing
software will remain fully functional. We shall see.
