I'm with you, but Darktable had soo many modules that overlap functions that I couldn't get a good workflow going. Now, if we had a good foss copy of lightroom that behaved like lightroom, then I'd jump ship. But it is the bees bollocks so far in terms of usability.
I still very much need to get my head around the aar software - something I find difficult as the more I look into it, the more complicated it seems to get.
Yeah, the $99 looks like it's for the ultra edition - cloud sync and all. The lower price seems to be just ad removal. Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm often told I am.
Nicely put. Thanks for clearing that up.
