And PhotoRAW 2024 Testing complete. I'm going to stay with Lightroom for another year.
Didn't take long to discover for me at least that the HDR merge only worked half the time and looked like it reduced the photo to 16 colours for the other half.
Additionally the HDR Merge when it did work inexplicably applied a noticeable sharpening effect to the merged photo.
Along with the product activation issues (See previous Toot) , dealbreaker straight away.
While it is either a bug (or "just me”), the app has been around in a consumer ready form for over 5 years and these things just should not happen, even if it turns out to be a bug that gets fixed next patch.
Glad I didn't commit to migrating away from LR this time.
@jon I’d say as a photo retouching tool, PhotoRAW is exceptional and a great competitor to LR. Also of appeal is that you can buy it outright and not be locked into a subscription if you want.
It definitely is a learning curve from LR though, there will be some things named differently, and you may have to make adjustments differently to achieve a same effect as in LR.
On the flipside, a lot of stuff is much more intuitive as it’s all in the one app and you don’t need to move between LR and PS (like you, I try to avoid PS like the plague).
Obviously they have a trial, and also a month-to-month subscription (as well as the more familiar yearly/pay by month subscription Adobe does).
The only thing IMO that PhotoRAW lacks is Digital Asset Management like LR does. It very much relies on the fact that you store your photos in a structured way from the get-go rather than you just “importing” and then mapping photos into Collections and Albums - When I first tried photoraw back in 2019/2020 it was a massive piece of work to go through and rename all my folders to something meaningful. Not an issue for me any more as I now make folder naming part of my import workflow.
There is a LightRoom to PhotoRAW migration extension, but again in the past, I found that a little hit-and-miss, so overall it did okay.
If you are not wed to any particular post-processing app, Photoraw is definitely worth a trial :)
It’s approaching that time of the year when I have a crisis of whether I continue to pay for an Adobe Photographer Subscription (Lightroom and PS) or switch to On1 PhotoRAW (again).
Those who’ve followed me know that I quite like PhotoRAW, but the cloud sync, which I mainly use to sync photos to mobile devices for show and tell, was a traumatic experience of never working right, which lead me back down the Adobe route where it just works.
I want to believe PhotoRAW has improved….I guess I can try it for a month again and test. I have until The new Year to commit (or not) to Adobe again.
