I'm still using Adobe Bridge (from CS6 Extended) to ORGANIZE photos.
Once I've got them loaded on my Photoshop Computer I save them to my
homemade file server.
I then import the ones I want to use in LR onto the external drive for
my iMac.
I have Lightroom Classic because it's required for some online photo
classes I wanted to take - not because I expected to learn anything
(although maybe I have) - but to have other people to interact with.
I'm really isolated out here since my move to the country and if
Lightroom is the price I have to pay to obtain a social outlet ...
I'm not very comfortable with the NEW rental Photoshop and all the "AI"
stuff.
It still seems to me like it wants to tell me what to do rather than
making it easier for me to do what I want; like it wants to substitute
Adobe's artistic vision for mine.

I've been low key wanting to ditch lightroom for about 10 years now. I tried
ON1 a while back, primarily because it claimed that it could transfer lightroom
catalogs. Unfortunately, that didn't work so well, and there were too many
features I used that worked so much better in LR.
Ever since I started using LR, I have been storing my photos in a directory
tree that didn't rely on the LR data base to find things, so that when I do
change, I'll be able to find things. I know that when I do change, it's going
to be a hellish process.

I am running LR Classic 15.1 on a Mac, with an up-to-date OS.
For no apparent reason, LR has again ost track of about 10,000 of my 63,000
photos. This first happened a couple of years ago. After a few weeks of
struggle, I contacted a Lightroom expert that my wife somehow smoked out.
Neither of us can find her contact information, though.
Does anyone know of such a person? She lived on Long Island.
Which non-Adobe photo editors should I look at?
