darkroom

[PAW]

Good morning;

Tired of Adobe's pricing plans....
Does anyone have any experience with the freebies like darkroom or Rawtherapee on photos from the M2P?
Particularly if you used Lightroom in the past.

Thanks
Peter

Have a look at Affinity Photo: Affinity - Professional creative software
Not free, but rather a one time purchase. Runs on PCs and tablets.

Look at On1 and Topaz Labs and possibly ProShow Producer or the cheaper Gold software, all buy it and own it forever companies. Topaz Labs is the only company that keeps giving you updates for free, once you made your initial purchase with lots of free tutorial from all mentioned. I have had all three for years. With Topaz Labs I bought it and never paid another penny, when they improve or update a version, it is sent to you for free, the only company that I know that offers that. What a great care they have for their customers! None mentioned are free, but then they are also not extortionately priced either, but you do at least OWN them.

There is always Gimp 10.10 and Darktable.

Thanks all, for the suggestions. I was looking hard at darktable, and will check the others out now.
