Many like myself don't want a subscription service, I won't get into why. So for me it would have been helpful if you had addressed the question, can it replace light room

[kelloghill]

I too do not like the subscription trap. I quit LR when I first heard of ON1. I did the trial run (ON1) loved it and stuck with it from then on and will keep on using. ON1. Its been good for me. Thank you ON1 and not thanks to Adobe..

Okay I'll answer the question, can it replace Lightroom... YES

[boikel]

Compare the cost to photoshop and Lightroom.

[diluteduk]

Yes it replaces it, and you don't have to pay every month. I think they don't address it in the video because one of them is literally wearing a shirt with Adobe on it so they probably want to keep them sweet.

With the way Adobe is treating its customers and not in court over the way they are treating their subscribers it's time to move. Photo Raw 2025 looks very interesting.
