@NunavutBirder@mas.to Made the switch a few months ago 2get away from Adobe, subscriptions & gain some more digital independence (yeah, on a Mac, I know). How much time do you have b4 the next sub hits? dt has a steep learning curve, you have2 take your time b4 the real switch, prep the LR catalogue 2preserve & transfer as much data as possible via XMP, get into the workflow. I’m happy now and as fast as with LR but it wasn’t easy. Under water these days, but over the weekend I might add some details.

@TeachrDigital@bildung.social it’s monthly. So as much time as I need I guess.

@NunavutBirder@mas.to There’s definitely NO way to preserve any edits at all! If your library is RAW it will be back to zero when browsing it in dt. I have 70,000 photos, mainly from my travels, also used and sold as stock photos. All these albums had to be exported from LR to JPG to preserve my edits. Of course, I can start over now if there are better options to make an image even better than back in the day. But that’s rare.
