If you don't need a strong catalog option, and you are only editing Sony raw files, Capture One is free for Sony. I'm not sure the license's price for the other versions...bfitzgerald wrote: I don't need extensive catalogue options, but I do need to be able to add and browse files quickly making adjustments that are saved on the fly. So any other suggestions free or paid I'll consider any help appreciated.
I'm not upgrading from LR6. I'll use LR5 or LR6 depending on the files I'm editing, because there are few VSCO profiles I like to use. I need to work more wiht Capture One in order to get closer to the flavors I like, and I'm thinking on using Bridge for keywords, or even using LR6 for that and GPS info, but doing the editing on Capture One.
