Adobe has stopped releasing the standalone, so when the existing copies sell out, there will be no more. The advantage is no monthly payments to Adobe. The disadvantage is Adobe won't continue to support camera raw, so if you buy a camera created after 2017, you won't be able to get a camera raw update that will work with it.

I have a device called a NAS (Network Attached Storage). The one I have has mirrored drives so a hard drive failure won't result in data loss. It's possible to access them remotely, so you effectively have your own "cloud".

One of the options is Lightroom Classic for those who do not want to be on the cloud csziggy Jun 2019 #2

The reason depends on whether you want to keep paying Adobe every month Major Nikon Jun 2019 #3

Yeah, I have resisted upgrading since Adobe went to subscriptions csziggy Jun 2019 #4
