Comments about Capture One as an Alternative to Adobe Lightroom
Top Positive CommentMost Recent CommentDalsPhotographyQuite pricey, but very capable. Excellent for tethering in studio photography. Heavy on mac older machines, and builds catalogs as LR does which overtime can become a huge file catalog. NOT an easy importing option. To my personal opinion that is what really bothers most compared to other available programs. It's easy to work with but different in many aspects to LR. Many tutorials online and a good post sale service, much better than Adobe's in general.

Top Luminar Neo Features
Comments about Luminar Neo as an Alternative to Adobe Lightroom
BJSkylum's business model is to overpromise and under-deliver. Learned that the hard way. Maybe they'll actually enable GPU processing before the next decade.
It's slow on my old Mac, but it's «easy to understand»!

Comments about Snapseed as an Alternative to Adobe Lightroom
Top Positive CommentReally good tool, but make sure you don't push the adjustments too far, or it'll ruin the photo.
Top Negative CommentMissing a lot of Lightroom's features, most notably, it's not a photo manager. It's nice for quick edits on the go, but it was bought by Google a while ago, so assume no privacy.
Most Recent CommentSnapseed is an image editor, not organizer.
