I see… Will check out affinity…
I was really taken with capture one’s color grading tools from some video I saw. Seems like a good Lightroom alternative.
Lightroom is the one I’ve used most on a very basic level… Cloud integration is nice and I see the LRC sub is only $10/mo. Ease of use def nice and lots of support.
I think I could learn to use dark table and I’m interested in the scene referred philosophy but I wonder if it would feel like a burden to edit things and create the initial friction to put me off doing it more often. But I think I would learn a lot about developing digital photos which is appealing in its way.
Color grading, denoise, library management are def the most important to me. accessibility also.
Image healing, clone stamp etc not so much. Feels like not in the spirit of things.
Sorry to do conversation and not photo posting
