I changed the last four last computers because of Adobe Lightroom. With every new version, its performance was falling and a few megapixels in a camera created horrible lags. The Lightroom is nowadays only cloud-based and I will have to look elsewhere in the future. After all, I am not happy to pay $1 per picture processed – I do not shoot so many and so often.
Hence, I decided to look for alternatives looking for good performance in the first place. High performance is possible – after all, RawShooter 2006 managed to handle RAW files much faster than the first Lightroom.
To start with, I compared Adobe Lightroom v5.7, FastRawViever v1.4 and ON1 Photo Raw 2018.5. The latter file is advertised for incredible performance with Realtime modifications in the develop mode and culling of the RAW files.
