If I wanted to live in a world where I can only open old pictures if I manage a host of maybe outdated external plugins of dubious quality, I would use Lightroom. Just remember what happened to the Nik Plugins. First they were maintained by a company, then Google bought them, distributed them for free and ceased development. It's just sheer luck that DxO bought them from Google and maintains them again. Also you can't be sure that you will be able to run an older Lightroom version in a VM should the need arise. kind regards, Simon ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
