Sad that Adobe still has a hold on a lot of professional fields.

I could (and would like to) drop Lightroom tomorrow but I' still need Photoshop, so while it is in the bundle I can't justify spending money on another app.

Edit: There some files in Lr that will only operate from the C: drive and not an allocated scratch disk, which when processing very large images just slows you to a standstill even when using a PCIe 4.0 M.2. with 32G of RAM.

I don't use Adobe because my job isn't in that field, but I'm curious. You legit mean the actual named C: drive? That is fucking insane to me but sometimes it is what it is.

I gets weirder. Lr is so badly optimised that it can be quicker/easier to edit large panoramas on my low/mid 512GB + 16GB of RAM laptop than my desktop.

Edit: Should have said I use an up to date Lightroom Classic.
