My wife does most of her editing in LR and I get to fix the problem files. Both programs are available as a free 30-day trial, so you have plenty of time to make your mind up. ViewPoint 4 will cost 99/89 (about AU147) for new users, and 59/55 (about AU88) as an upgrade from ViewPoint 3. v6 is rather grey-haired.Īs an aside I do all my raw conversion in PL (d850/500 etc) and use LR as a DAM plus printing. PhotoLab 6 Elite will cost 219/199 (about AU325) for new users, and 99/89 (about AU147) as an upgrade. No surprise there, really, and I knew I'd have to move along from it at some point. My intention is to move away from Lr, as I'm currently running v6.14., but it doesn't work at all with the Z9 files. As for keywords etc, IMO LR's capability far exceeds PL. I bulk-rename my files before import using a separate util as LR's options are too limited. I was afraid you'd say something like this. Is renaming and applying keywords something you do in PLE, or using something else? If the latter, what would that be? I know about doing this, but was hoping there was something else that's more akin to Lr in that you can rename as you import. Then access them with either PL (navigate in the browser) or import into LR. But is that really an issue? In LR you have to navigate to the file, you have to do the same in PLĪs I said previously, you can just copy images from the card directly to your chosen location. I could be wrong, but it seems that PLE wants you to point to files that are ALREADY on the computer.Ĭorrect. You can also copy them to anywhere and then import without copy/move. Thanks for the reply! Yes, I know Lr only does the catalog, but you can tell it where you want the images stored when you import them into Lr.
