The title of this should be "Lightroom iOS app update..." and save some panic for a desktop user.

Re: Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable
#432In another story, I needed Lightroom for about a week to do some photo work. I started with their subscription for the month and I wanted to let go if I'm done in the first month. While trying to cancel my subscription, I realize I can only do that after paying for the remaining 11 months (rough calculation). With no other option, I paid my penalty and left Adobe for good. I have deleted my 15+ year old Adobe account…
As a Lightroom alternative, Darktable has quickly become a good replacement for me. I used to be a non-believer but turns out I just wasn’t used to it enough. It now has a healing brush at least as good (probably better^) as Lightroom, advanced perspective correction tool etc besides masking tools and other basics of course. ^ https://youtu.be/bWCLRYiNPn8
+1 to Darktable, it's an amazing piece of software.
Lately I have been using RawTheRapee [1] for most of my photo editing needs. It's simpler and less flexible than Darktable, but I get better results in less time unless I need some very specific editing. Also RawTheRapee's noise reduction and sharpening are better than Darktable's.

Seamless is a weird word to use in the context of the posted article.
Because it is. I only upload on the desktop and I dump a card full of RAWs and then can deal with them as if it's nothing.
It's not for you it's for professionals they neither want cloud nor use cloud storage because of ndas.

It is not that much debit focused, but you normally get credit card from a bank here.
Which country? Because here in south eu all banks give out debit cards as standard card. NL is different in that they use maestro so if you want to travel (outside of eu) you have to request a regular debit/credit card and most NL banks do not issue debit cards outside maestro, so you get a Cc.
> if you want to travel (outside of eu) you have to request a regular debit/credit card
The era where maestro cards were impossible to use abroad was already over ten years ago. The only thing you might need a creditcard for abroad is hotels and car rental, which you wouldn't be able to do with any kind of debit card (outside of a relatively small selection of hotels).

I don't know about software, but pirated games are generally more secure, stable and performant with less spyware than the official games with all the DRM.
Citation needed. I guess you’re probably right but companies are way more accountable than random internet person who modified the dll/binary to work without copy protection.
> companies are way more accountable
Probably over half the popular multiplayer products on Steam have rootkits in them that send a lot of data about you straight to the publisher. Companies are not accountable for the things you want them to be accountable for, so for normal people it just looks like they're not accountable at all.

I’ve been shooting for a very long time. And I shoot several sessions per month, and roughly 60gb per session. Sometimes much more, sometimes less. There is no possible way, nor reason, to have all those images in the cloud. I split up my catalogs aggressively, so I don’t really know how many images I have saved. But it’s in the hundreds of thousands. New Lightroom might be OK for the casual photographer. But for the…
What's your local storage setup?
I just saw this, so excuse the late response.
I’m pretty bad at storage discipline. And I admit that most of what I store is generally useless. But there’s diminishing returns on deciding what to store, vs. storing everything.
I have a little hard drive toaster that I keep a revolving 5tb spinning disc drive in. It’s my “storage” drive, and once it fills up I replace it with new ones. I don’t shoot “professionally” as in for clients, but I shoot some fairly large scale images, that result in lots and lots of data. And my working files can get up to 10gb in size. So I vigorously backup my working files, and I’m only halfassedly storing all the captures in case I need to go back and review, or dig up BTS. Lastly I have a pretty cheap and crappy SSD that I use as a sort of scratch disc. If I shoot teatherd, I’ll capture to it, or if I’m working on an image I’ll work off the SSD until the image is complete, and then move it to me of the spinning disc drives.
I currently have 3 filled 5tb drives with captures, and a drobo that I keep my working files on (tiffs, psd’s, psb’s).
If none of what I’m saying adds up, take a look at my images, and hopefully it will make it slightly more clear: http://agroism.com

Probably it's something in EULA that Adobe grant user licence to use the software that might be revocable under certain permission like this one.

That doesn't match, at all, with my experience. I had to travel for work all over the world the past 8 years, usually twice a month and my maestro cards didn't work in any US atms or shops, nor in chinese ones, nor in hk, indonesia, australia, cambodia, most atms in thailand and other places.
In the US & China, it had big maestro stickers everywhere, but it didn't work at all. Different cards, different banks; on calling the banks they said they did not even see a transaction coming in and they the cards are set for international travel (and work fine everywhere they are accepted in the EU).
And it's not for lack of trying; One time on a big slog from US -> China -> AUS, I (stupidly) brought 1 credit card and 3 maestros and my CC got cancelled (fraud); I tried literally every atm , shop in these countries and could not get $1. I had to borrow from my colleagues. This is a few years ago.
