As Adobe has released the very last non-cloud Lightroom, I guess it's time to move to its "negative" - Darktable.


Thats not true. There are two versions of Lightroom, the cloud one and Lightroom Classic. The Classic is the continuation of the regular desktop version and from what I understand its not going anywhere. Adobe cannot afford to take the desktop version away from photographers cause unlike photoshop there is good (or even better) competitors (e.g. Capture One is chewing up Lightroom's market share being faster and according to a lot of photographers gives better results).


The new Classic is what was formerly known as Lightroom Creative Cloud. So yes, it's a true desktop software but you need subscription.



I'm fine thanks. That's lightroom 6. Lightroom 7 (lightroom CC Classic) will be continuing just fine as a non-cloud product.


It's subscription, rent-seeking based now. I won't call that non-cloud. Cloud is useless anyway as it doesn't allow to upload RAWs and they obviously slapped it on Lr to justify switch to their individual user hostile model.
