Re: We Need An Adobe Lightroom True Competitor

Good responses. I admit it has been about 4 years since I worked extensively with LR (pretty much around when they went to all subscription, not that that was the entire reason). I do think most of the improvements you are mentioning are convenience oriented (but substantial). My biggest issue is with reliance on sliders for color accuracy. For me, it makes it difficult to nail color balance. I'm much more comfortable with color wheels (having used Picture Window Pro for most finishing for at least a dozen years).

LR comes pretty close to Fuji colors on the sims, but it was terrible for Pentax. I don't have experience with NEFs, but my brother absolutely loved it for Nikon; he has more recently switched to m4/3rds - Panasonic. Haven't asked if he still is as enthusiastic.
