I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
I've tried switching from Lightroom to Darktable and/or Rawtherapee, but found neither to produce the results I wanted. Any other alternatives I should try?
I actually did use Capture One Express for a time and was quite happy, but I recently switched back to my old Olympus MFT and sold my Fuji gear for financial reasons (which unfortunately makes the price for Capture One tricky right now). I may just have to try to make do with Rawtherapee for now.
These are the best foss/free available. I used darktable for some time, and I can say for sure it does the job well, but at the cost of your time. If you aren't into toiling over each photo Lightroom is the way to go
