Re: We Need An Adobe Lightroom True Competitor

Skillfully executed response. What I don't see is a response to my point that Adobe has done far more quality work on NEF profiles than on RAF. I suspect you might agree.

More importantly, I don't see you chiming in about how you've personally trialed the major LR competitors in recent history (if ever) - DxO and Capture One. I admit I haven't gone into LR lately, but I follow the progressions made... and they are relatively minor. There's good reason LR is losing market share (not just to C1) - especially among professionals, and that is because Adobe insists on sliders rather than dynamic tools for color accuracy, poor hardware optimization, and very little progress made on NR (see all the well-earned accolades for DxO).

I understand the pluses and minuses of the major software offerings. Too many advocates for the (still) leading option rely on that fact to be curious about the challengers. It is rare that those advocates effectively respond to that valid criticism.
