I absolutely hate ransomware, what I hate even more is that Lightroom is still far superior to anything else for what I do, and in general they keep improving it.

I have my gripes in that auto tone doesn't look to see that shots are bracketed and automatically adjust them to some nominal best exposure, but their match total exposure button works pretty well.

My advice is to put a stack of mattresses or at least empty boxes on the ground, jump off the roof and give LRC a try for a month. You could just save up all of your serious editing and just use the ransomware a month at a time and suspend it until your next batch. You might also be able to find someone to share the monthly ransom.

ON1 have just released version 2027 and I' geting still more frustrated. Even more unnessecary AI, fake skies, and more complex and complicated.

What are the alternatives? I'd rather  Jump from the roof than surrender to Adobe's ransomware. I still own DxO and am not really thrilled to fork out over 400 € for the current version. Darktable looks like the proverbial horse designed by a committee...

Maybe this is a passing phase of frustration, but I hardly publish photos anymore.

Any advice?
