Cancelled my lightroom cloud account last night and was very surprised at the "early cancellation fee". Only made me upset and more determined to move off to something else! Very happy to see this post this morning.

Please do share what you moved to. Lightroom is the only Adobe product I'm still on the hook for.

I'm currently on the free trial of Capture One Pro. It's a $300 license for the current version, which gets updates for a year. It's super pricey but it's the only program I've found that plays well on Mac, has the features I want and is intuitive to use.

What'd you switch to?

Darkroom [1], my scenario is I am editing my photos on my iPad and it can do all the same basic edits and modifications with it and I can use my photo library to organize things rather than have them in Adobe's cloud

Gave it a try. Seems to be very lacking for any type of bulk operations, and little things like saving your edits requires too many steps. For instance, I wanted to modify the coloration of a set of photos that I'd shot in one session. Yes, I can apply the adjustments, then copy and paste those to another photo, but I can't do that in-bulk, so you need to apply it to each individual photo. Then the save workflow requires that you popup the save modal, then choose what type of save you wish to perform.

Unfortunately too clunky for my use-case.
