With Aperture that was trivial, select the image in the book and e. white balance or the colors on photos on the same page to make them match colors. That was not just a preference in how things are done, something philosophical, but I found Aperture's approach tremendously useful when creating photo books (remember those?): here I would often tweak e. Perhaps the workflow Lightroom wants me to use is “better”, but my brain just isn't wired that way. In Aperture, I could mix and match as I liked. I felt as if Lightroom wanted to impose a workflow on me as opposed to Aperture, which felt as if it would adapt to me. I'm currently trying DxO PhotoLabs 4, and eventually I will have to give Adobe Lightroom another chance.Īre there any that I should try? Are there any which are fun?Ĭlick to expand.I haven't tried the interface of their latest version yet, but what infuriated me the most was the modal nature of their interface. Also all of the example images they present to show off the power of their software seem gaudy.ĪCDSEE: I haven't tried it, but just looking at tutorials, they seem to use an approach to DAM that is not compatible with what I'd like: a purely file-based workflow. Plus, I am really annoyed by their spam emails that I still get with SPECIAL LIMITED OFFERS and the like, which grates me the wrong way, too. Luminar AI: I have purchased licenses for Luminar 2 and 3 just to fund development for their DAM functionality, which has been a big disappointment. No stacking, which pretty much eliminates it from serious consideration. On1: I have tried the current version again, but the UI seems clunky. On the plus side, it seems to be the only piece of software that is Mac-like. RAW Power: This seems more like Photos Pro, with more (better?) editing options but its file management functionality seems to be identical to Photos. Photos: Way too limited and has a modal interface. The other thing is that all contenders but RAW Power are cross-platform, which makes their UI very un-Mac-like and clunky. Marking photos for deletion (the X rating in Aperture) also do not seem to be included. How are versions and stacks not features that are just standard by now? I reckon that is because of asset management and file management seem to be one and the same thing. Luminar 4 aka AI, and DAM features fall by the wayside. But it seems to me that all contenders focus mostly on advances in editing like e. I'll give you a list of the ones I have tried below. I want an app that makes me want to sort photos again, edit them, curate them and print them. I don't want relitigate or wax nostalgically here, but I wanted to see if I can find a DAM that is a replacement to rekindle my interest in photography. Since the demise of Aperture, my photography has atrophied.
