[Leica] If not Lightroom, ...

[Mark Rabiner]

I know a lot of people who never stopped using Photoshop.
Not Adobe Photoshop LightRoom 6. But Adobe Photoshop Photoshop that has
dominated quality digital photography before digital photography even
existed in 1991 which is when I started using it..
There are new people buying it everyday as well.
It's like your supposed to be embarrassed to be a liberal. I'm ok with both
Photoshop use AND being a lefty.

I'm sure Lightroom has the market share and some good top people are using
it. It cost $142.99 cents which is what a cheap here today gone tomorrow
third part filter cost for the real Photoshop. I'm sure it comes free with
some scanners and cameras.
If you don't want to pay 5 times more for the real Photoshop and make the
commitment to using that's great. But lets not pretend Photoshop doesn't
exist shall we? The real one. Adobe Bridge browser still is downloadable as
part of the CC Adobe system and I've been using it for close to a decade and
never heard of Mechanic.

Capture One comes free when you get a Digital camera back from Phase One,
Mamiya and Leaf the software is free and called Capture One 8 DB its what
people use when they use digital backs or who want their cameras tethered to
huge screen so art directors and clients can direct their shoots and they
know they're getting paid because whatever happens is not going to be blamed
on them. Its not their image.  Now you can tether up your Canon or Nikon to
it.
Its still thought of my anybody I ever met as a medium format digital
solution though I know one guy who switched from Photoshop to  Capture One
something  a few years ago and I've not seen a pic he's done nor him since.
I think the program might be tethering him wirelessly. He's off somewhere
harvesting silicon for the big take over.
