#2Slight sidebar: it's so frustrating that Adobe made the new Lightroom some cloud based monstrosity. For photographers with serious workflows involving local disks, we're now relegated to "Lightroom Classic" which makes me feel like I'll be discontinued in N years from now. I hope they change course and drop this whole cloud thing, the yearly subscription model is bad enough.

#3Well, this is as good a time as any then to try out Darktable [1]!

No chance :( It’s their cash cow and it’s not going anywhere.

This should not be downvoted, it makes the headline much harder to parse on first read, and that's what a headline is for.

There are a lot of alternatives if you don't mind switching workflows a little. I'm only a casual photographer, but I made the jump to Exposure X5 (which blows Lightroom out of the water on performance). Capture One also looked like a good alternative.

Fixed now. Submitted title was "Lightroom Update Wipes Users’ Photos/Presets, Adobe Says Their ‘Not Recoverable’".

Apparently they're doing pretty well. Don't expect them to change course. But this created the opportunity for others. I have migrated to Affinity photo + Capture One. No regrets.

#10Obviously this is a screw up on Adobe's part, but this is a good time to remind everyone that if you're not backing up your data, then it must not be very important to you.
Back up your stuff! You never know when something unexpected will cause you to lose it!
