LR5 Vs LR6 standalone, much difference?

I am debating whether to get that last standalone. I do not need cloud, and don't want cloud.

Anybody have thoughts that has used 5 and 6 standalone?


Thanks!

I don't recall much of what the actual differences were, but the thing to take a look at is what specific camera raw support you need and get the version that handles that.

I have v6.12 installed and will stick with that as long as it continues to work reliably on macOS since I don't need support for anything past that version.

Hi,

I used LR5 and nowadays use LR6, both in standalone version.
If memory serves me well, between the 5 and 6, the "in Lightroom" HDR and panoramic functionality were added.

CU,
Rafael

Well, I went ahead and got it, since the price was fairly decent. I guess I am officially done buying Adobe unless they change their tune in the future. I am not buying new cameras into the foreseeable future. I am pretty well equipped for now, I don't have to have the latest and greatest anymore. Over that.... :ROTFL:

(bolded) I'm well over-equipped; just don't need or want anything more. That doesn't say I'll never buy another camera, but the only new camera I've bought in a long while is a Lomo Instant Square (the Light L16 uses its own proprietary software to render with, and I bought it in 2015... it just took until last Christmas to be delivered!)

I'll use LR 6.12 until it can no longer run on macOS. I do have a couple other new image processing apps that I'll get around to experimenting with one of these days, but I'm in no great hurry. What I really need to do is get out and do some more shooting! I've been distracted with other pursuits.

Godfrey, I have so many diversions, I do good to take a photo of my musical instruments every now and then. I have hopes of shooting more on retirement, that may come sooner rather than later, the way things go where I work... I hoped to at least get my 30 yrs in, but that is questionable... :banghead:

I have a D700 with grip, a D3X (with grip, think about that, haha), and I did get a very low click D810 with grip not to long ago used, real nice cam. I also have 2 Leica cams and 4 lens kit. M240, and the MM. Can have a lot of fun with what I have, and at one time, I had WAY to much. Still have a lot, but got rid of a lot of excess bags and stuff. I could still stand to clear out a bit more, ,especially in non photography stuff! Don't ask!!! I feel like a horder at times, I did not set out to be that. I want to get rid of some stuff, but some stuff, I just cannot.

I did get rid of a old Bush workstation that took up way to much room recently. It really helped in my great room. I compute mostly in a kitchen nook. When you are single, you can do what you dang well please, ha.
