That doesn’t mean we can’t substantially streamline our workflow. Historically we’ve always needed multiple programs and now there are dozens of plug-ins that provide wonderful options and save us time. I’m excited about all the great choices we have now for raw workflow.

** Download a Free Trial of Photo Raw 2018 new release here ** An Exciting New Age in Raw Workflow If you go for the new Lightroom CC then you’ll be paying even more and Adobe will be holding your images hostage, er “hosted” on their servers (aka Adobe Cloud.) Last month Adobe released two variations of Lightroom amidst much dismay and confusion among users due to the naming scheme and other issues such as over-writing previous versions owned by users when they installed a trial of Lightroom Classic CC (which replaces Lightroom CC, not to be confused with the former Lightroom CC.) Just the name “Classic” implies its inevitable demise and with the Adobe addiction model of selling, you won’t have anything to show for years of paying monthly fees when it either goes away or you decide you don’t want to continue paying. The straw that broke the workflow-camel’s back for me has been my loss of confidence in Adobe and Lightroom. After 10 years of using Lightroom, why I’m leery of continuing with it Read on for more elaboration and the details comparing Lightroom in my real world assessment.
On top of that I shoot Fuji X-Trans cameras which have been a special challenge for developers of raw processors. This is saying a lot as I’ve been using Lightroom daily for 10 years and have more than 130,000 images cataloged with it. I’ve already established in previous reviews that ON1 Photo Raw is a top choice of mine for non-destructive raw processing but I want to expand on that: I am in the process of moving towards ON1 Photo Raw as my main workflow hub. Those of you that know me or my reviews know I like to give the bottom line first. Special Fuji Section included (below) Bottom Line First I got a lot of great questions so I’ll incorporate those in this assessment of using the new release of Photo Raw 2018 in a real world workflow. I just got back from Phoenix conducting a seminar at the Arizona Highways Focus on Photography Symposium entitiled: A New Age in Raw Workflow with ON1 Photo Raw. I’m now transitioning to ON1 Photo Raw 2018 More details in the review After 10 Years of Using Lightroom
