The ubiquitous presence of proprietary software in the world of photography is something photographers have to start vocally disapproving of because it has contributed to this problem.

Capture One Pro wouldn’t be in this lesser group if it supported all cameras equally, but declining to support the GFX and other cameras sets a dangerous precedent that can’t be ignored, especially when the cameras work via hacks.

If a company producing a product based on your needs isn’t valuable to you, you can always go with Capture One Pro, Apple Photos, etc… they do a great job of telling you what you need and how you need it, which is good enough for a lot of users. All of these companies are very responsive to their customers’ needs, and I am sure there are many more that I am forgetting or am even unaware of at this time. There is also Iridient Digital, that makes a Fujifilm optimized RAW engine, and I can’t forget Affinity Photo. So are companies like Macphuns, that launched a page responding to Adobe’s misstep. If you follow me on twitter, ON1 and Alienskin reached out and are listening to what customers want.

I could spend thousands of words exploring each of these issues, but one thing is clear… ADOBE ISN’T LISTENING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS! So why bother talking about how their pricing structure is designed to make stockholders happy and not photographers? The new Lightroom CC 2018 is a great product that delivers a lot of new features, but it’s not for Photographers, and Adobe isn’t listening to customers anymore… So who is? If that wasn’t enough, there was rampant speculation about security/ownership/access and so much more. Of course, some accepted the additional costs, while others with small libraries barely noticed the different pricing structure and how it scales. The excitement accompanying the launch of Lightroom CC 2018/CC Classic 2018 quickly turned to confusion and anger for a variety of reasons. ON1's working now for me pretty decently for the most part but for 55 bucks I think ACDSee might be a great back up to have loaded on my computer in case SHTF again.In the eyes of many photographers, Adobe made a fatal error the other day when they abandoned their standalone edition of Lightroom in favor of an Adobe Creative Cloud based subscription model.

This latest ON1 upgrade played havoc on my computer and was also pretty much unusable for over a week and I had a bunch of images to edit, that's when I knew I needed a backup (other that lightroom). I've learned the programs strengths and weaknesses over the last 9 months and can really get some great results with it. ON1 is really easy for this and that's why I like it so much. I don't do hardly any really heavy editing but I do like or need to occasionally do local adjustments with brushes, use filters etc. I have until July 18th before their special of 55 bucks expires and then I think its back up to around 100 bucks to buy it.

I'm gonna load the trial version of ACDSee pro 2018 this weekend and play around with it when I get time. Yeah, Capture One isn't really on my radar at all at this point. Remember that I could have achieved exactly the same end-result from Photo Editor. Photo Ninja will still get the "heavy lifting" if I've been shooting very high ISOs or in "impossible" light but I'm more and more impressed by the end-to-end capabilities of ADCsee's offerings. I recommend Photo Ninja and ACDSee products purely because they're better than the rest in any test/evaluation that I've undertaken, for the things I need from a converter - detail/acuity, highlight/shadow handling, clean detailed demosaicing. I was also part of Raw Therapee's development team back in the day, so I think I can lay some claim to an "informed perspective" when it comes to raw converters.

Note that I've been a beta tester for both DxO and Phase One (Capture One Pro) and was on the path to Adobe Certified Professional (LightRoom). Colour is spot-on Highlights and shadows managed very well (the head was black, with no visible detail, in the Raw preview) and plenty of of fine detail/texture in the plumage and beak. It's a good indication of how capable ACDSee is, I reckon. You can brush native ACDSee sharpening on without using the plugin, incidentally - I'm just comfortable with Topaz Detail's results, but if I decide that I can get similar results from within ACDSee, Detail will get less use. I've converted resized added a signature "Light EQd" the shadows and highlights "healed" some distracting background stuff and sharpened by selectively applying a "Deblur" at a strength of 17, in Topaz Detail (called from within Photo Studio). I've just turned it out from Raw, in less than 5 mins. Not my best image from last weekend, but challenging, as it was shot in intense light, so the shadows and darks were really dark the highlights and lights really light.
