I've got an ancient version of Lightroom (maybe 2010?) that I still use to manage photos on Windows. Feature-wise, it's great, but it is very slow and a little buggy. I've been meaning to try out Darktable since it introduced Windows support around a year ago, but it's difficult to find time to replace something that works :)
- _jal 6y agoI do that, too. I also run some 15-ish year-old machining software. I've mostly moved these into VMs with a fossilized OS that works for them. Between applications that keep getting worse with each revision, subscriptions and other annoyances, I think a lot of my software use will follow this model.
- PicassoCTs 6y agoSame here- just put the whole setup in amber like the jurassic-park-fly - store the software at peak performance and keep it there. Bonuspoints if the VM is under Linux, to prevent the OS from sabotaging those efforts.
- wiredfool 6y agoI've bought 3 versions of lightroom over the years, and I'm still on LR5. Fired it up for the first time in a couple of years, and it's ... not working well. Cropping doesn't focus right on the drag, and some of the commands don't seem to 'take'. I'm done with Adobe, except for the _tons_ of photos and develop settings that I have in LR from 10 years back.
- nbzso 6y ago"it's difficult to find time to replace something that works" This is true. My process is hard and time consuming. The only added value is that is independent and can be fully migrated at any time. I use software for 20 euro - Fast Raw Viewer and then add Image Editing of your choice.
