![]() ![]() But in the process of reviewing the "usual suspects" I was reminded about NeoFinder. I decided that Photo Supreme is the only DAM alternative really worthy of consideration. try the trial and see if it works for you. Have been pleased with the resulting workflow. We did the same transition 1.5 yrs ago to Photo Supreme for the DAM and DxO Photolab for PP. I'm probably not the first since Adobe changed to subscriptions I've got 15 years of RAW and jpeg files in hierarchy (>300GB) and I'm not sure Photo's will do for me in editing and processing.Īny other semi-professional alternative. Thanks, I don't think Photo's is the option for me. You have to pick a DAM/PP combo whose interest match your needs. Have tried several times with trials to get a more robust DAM included to no avail. However, if you have extensive keywords with hiearchy, it has its limitations. This can take ages, I'm sure there most be a way to tell the software "ok, I like the way you handle the noise reduction, that's it, show me just the tone curves and let's get this over with".Ģ) Ok, I trust you C1, do what you want and that's it.Įxposure is very LR-like in many ways. Pictures that haven't been edited in Lr go right to the C1 library, you get prompted with those that have been edited. If it's ok for you, it imports the file (from that point on there's no way of coming back to the Lr version). Since Lr and C1 process RAW files different, the import app gives you two options:ġ) it shows a duplicate of the pictures side by side. It reads all the keywords perfectly (complete hierarchy with no problems at all) and works "kind of" great with editing. It is also fast, running nicely on my imac 2011Ī while ago Capture One released an app that helps import Lr libraries into C1. ![]() I really like the fact that if you select a number of photos in Exposure and view in Finder, then it will show these as selected, even with multiple Finder windows, so it is easy to work with files directly in your own harddrive folder structure There is no support for video, nor hdr merge or panoramas, though the videos can be seen, so they can be opened with a shortcut or seen in Finder It makes sidecars that will stay with the photos, so you can basically start tagging and editing right away, and organize harddrive folders both inside or outside Exposure, which is smart enough to move the sidecars when you drag photos It is a very useful alternative to Ligthroom, has similar interface and controls, and most of the editing features, while using the photos directly on the drive to avoid catalouging Or the others that have been discussed.Įxposure has an import tool for getting all metadata from your Lightroom catalouge Or use Bridge in conjunction with an editing application it's free. ![]() When you write them to the files (JPEGs, TIFFs, DNGs, sidecars) Lr C writes them as both a hierarchy and as a flat list the first is supported by some software, the latter by most everything.Īnd your option is probably Photos, but I assume you've searched here among the dozens of "Lr alternatives" threads. Photos, and many others flatten the list, so you might end up with a load of the sub-headers as keywords. One caveat though, if you have hierarchal keywords, then this may not transfer fully. I imported my Lightroom images in to Photos and all the keywords appeared there. If you make sure too turn on the save the xmp sidecar files, then most software will read data from those. I've been looking around but can't find software for Mac that reads the iptc info. I'm looking for easy editing software for Mac OS with good archiving functionality that reads the iptc info that is stored in the files (keywords and rating are most important). I've been using Adobe LR for long and now want to shift to other software to avoid monthly recurring costs. ![]()
