My Lightroom & Photoshop Alternative | Acdsee Photo Studio Ultimate 2018

I’m not a fan of “software as a service” so back in 2017 I was looking for a replacement to my aging copy of Photoshop CS5.1 with Adobe Bridge. After trying multiple programs, Acdsee’s full application suite of editing and organizing clicked with me. Not everything is perfect and it isn’t the fastest program ever, but they sell it on a version-by-version basis. It does what I need to do. Besides the lag at times, it can’t open My Canon EOS M50 CR3 RAW files, which is a pain and one of the reasons I moved away from Photoshop/Bridge CS5. Ironically I have been using Adobe’s DNG converter program so that I can edit files with Acdsee. Sure, I could use Canon’s tools which I occasionally do, but for now I’m just going to get by with DNG. As a somewhat low cost alternative to Lightroom and Photoshop I’m overall pretty happy.
