For free, after spending more than ten francs on a hard drive. I have no intention of using Lightroom after the one month Adobe trial period for a simple reason. Paying 10 CHF per month, when you pay for one app, exceptionally, is affordable. Paying 10-20 CHF per app per month becomes exhorbitant. <\/p>\n<p>What did catch my interest is that there is a one terabyte tier for data storage in the cloud. The issue I have with this plan is that it&#8217;s 149 CHF per year, when two terabytes with Infomaniak is 67 CHF per year, and 100 CHF per year with Google Photos. That&#8217;s 49 CHF more than Google and 80+CHF more than Kdrive. That difference in price doesn&#8217;t justify Lightroom&#8217;s added functionality. <\/p>\n<p>## No Light Room Equivalent for Video<\/p>\n<p>I looked at the Adobe Creative Suite Apps. There is no Media Asset Management tool for video. You have lightroom, for photos. There is a stock footage app but a stock footage app is not a personal Digital Asset Management tool. That&#8217;s a nice that Adobe should get into, as it is guaranteed that users of the Adobe Creative Suite needd a solution for photos, and videos.   <\/p>\n<p>### Video is Supported<\/p>\n<p>Video is supported. You can&#8217;t search by videos and there is no mention of video except when you look through assets.<\/p>\n<p>## And Finally<\/p>\n<p>I do not plan to be seduced by Adobe Lightroom or other tools. We have plenty of free or open source solutions to pick from. I have Final Cut Pro Studio, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve and KDEnlive to play with for video editing, and Immich and PhotoPrism as Lightroom equivalent tools. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Recently I got a new drive and as I registered it I saw that I could play with lightroom for free for a month.
