I canceled my subscription to Adobe only a few days into the trial.

That’s crazy.Īlso, as it turns out, sharing images with the clients required them to create an Adobe user account, which is simple enough, but it does add a layer of complexity to my clients and it was not as convenient as I thought. They had desktop, phone, and tablet versions on the apps, and I’m sure that would appeal to some people, but I would never edit my images on a tablet. As it turns out, both Lightroom and Photoshop looked a lot more modern, than the versions I remembered, but I think they spent most of their development budget on making the apps work in the cloud, and not so much on the actual image processing capabilities.

I downloaded the trial version and started digging into the settings. However, with Adobe I thought I could have the convenience and also retain the branding of my photography business. Most of these apps give users a few Gb of space free. I know a lot of photographers who simply send the finished pictures to a DropBox or similar online file-sharing app. It’s convenient, but not entirely necessary. Not much, but I thought, if I only pay another 2$, I get the Adobe subscription, which apparently offers a good way to share images with my clients.Īt this time, I upload finished my client’s Boudoir Photography or Online Dating Photography images to a Zenfolio gallery, give my client a link and I’m done. At that time I had an online gallery with Zenfolio, which cost me USD$8 a month. Actually, I’m still happy with it, but I was looking for a better way to publish my client images and decided to give the Adobe subscription another go. I’ve been really happy with the setup for a few years. I canceled my Adobe subscription, reinstalled my old version of Photoshop 6.0, and migrated to Exposure. They also had a large number of “film presets” built-in and they looked really good. They didn’t use a global database – catalog, instead, they just processed their images on the folders. Editing images was just as easy as Lightroom, and the organisation was much more to my liking. They released a version that had very similar features to Lightroom. Until I learned about AlienSkin Exposure, which is now just called Exposure X6. I subscribed to that for at least a year. I think it was AUD$10 a month for both Lightroom and Photoshop. The pricing was actually very affordable. They realised that charging a monthly rent on their apps made them a lot more money than selling their apps outright. Then Adobe decided to change the pricing structure. I am not sure which version it was by then, but it was a very good app, and combined with Photoshop 6.0 it gave me all the tools necessary to manage, organise and edit all my images. It did a good job and I stayed with that until at least 2014. At that time it was the best app to manage images available.

I installed my first Lightroom app when it was at version 1.4. I have used all these applications and currently deciding between two of them. I guess we could also add Adobe Photoshop with Bridge being the image management and organisation app, but if anyone is actually using Adobe, they’d organise their pictures in Lightroom. There is also this Exposure X6, formerly known as AlienSkin Exposure app. Adobe Lightroom is probably the most popular among them, but Capture One is also widely used especially among the most serious of photographers. Every photographer out there is using one of these three applications.
