I use Lightroom, but it's fairly "dumb" in its approach to photo management: no features, no surfacing of old content, just a useless grid. GPhotos on the other hand surfaces old photos in interesting ways, shows you moments from the past and even sometimes creates cool edits on its own. It's actually pretty magic, and feels years ahead of Lightroom.
- stefco_ 10y agoWell, they're also for different use cases, so I don't think "ahead" is the right word. Lightroom is pro-oriented and assumes that you know what photo you want to find, whereas consumer photo apps are more about browsing and availability than anything else (hence the autogenerated montages and cloud storage integration). But that is exactly why I use a combination of Lightroom and Apple Photos. (edit: Though I wouldn't mind having some of these slick organization/discovery features in Lightroom as long as they didn't ruin the rest of the experience.)
