I've not been keeping up with Lightroom Forums or upgrades to the software lately. Just been using it really.
So I understand this is a difficult question for you all to answer but here goes.
I am running Windows 7 prof. I am pretty happy with my version LR 5.7. I am not at all keen on subscription payments as I like to own the thing and upgrade when I see significant improvements. So... what improvements would I get if I went to CC or whatever it's called now? Are there any drawbacks? What's the latest stand alone product without subscription that I could upgrade to, if any.
I have to also say that I am not always a fan of Current (2012) processing on my photos. I often like to use 2010 for speed of editing - I've yet to find a simple alternative to the brightness slider in 2010. On 2012 I have to use so many more sliders to do the same thing. I do understand that generally 2012 is better, but for general photos I find it's not worth the extra effort in processing. Just thought I'd mention if any of the newest versions don't allow 2010 processing.
Ta muchly.
