Of course, if other software comes along that I find to be better than LR (and that's a very subjective and personal assessment), I may switch. If they choose option 1, I'll do the same until - and this seems fairly unlikely - I consider upgrading to equipment that isn't supported in the final version. If they go with 2, I'll make sure I have the latest and last available version, and I'll stick with it, as it does everything I need in RAW processing and library management, and does most of it extremely well. at LR7 we'd see most of what is current in CC at that time) Keep Lightroom stand-alone, add new cameras and lenses, and add all or most LR CC features at each major release (i.e. Kill Lightroom stand-alone, add new cameras and lenses indefinitely, but no new featuresģ. Kill Lightroom stand-alone as a product, add new cameras and lenses for a period of time and then stopĢ. I can see Adobe taking one of three paths:ġ.

I think they will do the same type of thing with lightroom standalone, to drive cc,I suspect they've had quite a backlash from stand-alone Lightroom users who just won't move to the CC model (of which I'm one). I agree, I think I stated that incorrectly, I don't think they will abandon it as a stand alone, they for sure will add new cameras, I wander if they will add all the cc updates to the stand alone, all the new capabilities, They crippled Elements with 8 bit color processing for most functions to protect PS, Mike, I see we are both pet lovers, just a different spices A few more steps, but I get the PS capability along with the raw capability. I like lightroom, used it for a long time and I am new to Affinity, so far There are a few things Lightroom does that affinity does but it requires masks. I think they will do the same type of thing with lightroom standalone, to drive cc, they may not, But time will tell, If you are not using PS now then Affinity may be a good option, IF you use PS then maybe not. I don't believe Adobe is discontinuing the standalone version (if someone else knows otherwise, I'd appreciate a link to that announcement).I agree, I think I stated that incorrectly, I don't think they will abandon it as a stand alone, they for sure will add new cameras, I wander if they will add all the cc updates to the stand alone, all the new capabilities, They crippled Elements with 8 bit color processing for most functions to protect PS, And as far as I'm aware, it will be replaced at some point with Lightroom 7. Are you aware that Lightroom 6 exists? Whilst it isn't receiving functional updates like CC, it does get camera and lens updates (I use it myself).
