I’m finally quitting adobe, they raised my subscription so much it’s absurd.

I want to migrate 2-3 Lr catalogs to dark table or similar. For anyone who’s done it, do I need to have Lr to export things in certain formats, or is it ok to go ahead & cancel subscription asap, then wait & worry about getting #darktable set up in a month or two when I have more energy?

Normally I wouldn’t gamble but I’ve could stand to save the money & I’m too stressed about upcoming talk to deal w a migration rn

$10 was already a lot for 2 software but within market comparison, a jump to $25 for 2 software is absurd

Did fast math and I’ve spent *at least* $1000 BORROWING adobe’s software, vs like idr but maybe $70 on aperture while it still existed (RIP) .

This isn’t even precise math, this is vague back of hand maths — as in I’m pretty sure the number is much higher if I looked up the actual dates for when I had full creative suite vs just photography plan.

I need to go throw myself in a well. I really should not have done math.

@moss That's brutal.

I would greatly like to meet the person who came up with the concept of software subscription fees like they charge because I would never stop punching them.

It has infected so much.😡
