I'm curious, are you using RAW or OOC JPEGs? Which noise reduction SW do you use?

These are RAW with no noise reduction and the exposure boosted to see how the cameras handle the shadows. Editing wise I normally use Photoshop Elements (fine for what I do) however I need to update due to needing GX8 compatibility. So I'm trying out Lightroom at the moment, however it is a complete dog when you are opening folders and RAW files off a file server. Ridiculously slow. And I hate the Creative Cloud pay per month model.

You know you can still buy a standalone version of Lr right? For me buying LR PLUS Photoshop Elements is still cheaper than CC, since Lr isn't updated every year (so like $75 every ~2 for the upgrade version) and I only tend to grab every other version of PSE (usually on sale for like $80-100 for PSE + Premier Elements)...

That's like $160-170 every 2 years for LR + Photoshop/Premier Elements (or less depending on how much the Lr release schedule legs), vs what, like $240 every 2 years for just LR + Photoshop? I'm not opposed to CC on principle, but they'd have to sweeten the deal or kill their standalone software for it to appeal to me value wise.
