Life After Adobe – What happens when you say Goodbye to Subscriptions https://makertube.net/videos/watch/769982cf-7aa3-45b4-96b4-3bdbc1404a29 The biggest fear people have about changing their editing software is not being able to go back and access all that work they have already put into the file. We're hanging onto the possibility of going back to our old edits, instead of looking forward to new possibilities. Reminder that my discount code for DxO PhotoLab is "EWENBELL15". If you're going to purchase some DxO products feel free to use this code and save yourself some money. I get a little commission as well, which helps keep my YouTube channel running. And here's a link to my video on how I do my editing, a very simple and easy to follow guide to create the gentle style that you see in my photos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R_UKlPnZ2M 00:00 Intro 00:53 Goodbye To Subscriptions 03:09 Looking Back 06:09 DxO PhotoLab 07:34 That Janky Cable 09:27 Never Read The Comments 10:37 Use It Or Lose It 13:09 That's All Folks My Zine https://ewenbell.com/zine, My Newsletter https://ewenbell.com/subscribe, #PhotoEditing #Subscriptions #Photography #EwenTube Fri, 03 Jul 2026 19:39:33 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://fedi.video Life After Adobe – What happens when you say Goodbye to Subscriptions https://fedi.video/lazy-static/avatars/02f93071-79de-43d5-8a8f-e4ed5a39345c.png https://makertube.net/videos/watch/769982cf-7aa3-45b4-96b4-3bdbc1404a29 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://fedi.video/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder. <![CDATA[Life After Adobe – What happens when you say Goodbye to Subscriptions - Ewen Bell on PeerTube]]> https://fedi.video/w/fDqqrJrCxJJxdNTKucdLP4;threadId=29626 https://fedi.video/w/fDqqrJrCxJJxdNTKucdLP4;threadId=29626 Fri, 03 Jul 2026 10:35:12 GMT @ada@blahaj.zone Good to hear another vote for Dark Table 😃 I have often used the DNG converter in the past, but often find the dynamic range is limited in these files compared to native RAW. Dark Table does a good job of supporting different cameras though 😃

The only adobe app I use now is the Adobe DNG converter, because I can use it to produce DNGs that are more compatible with the FOSS software I use.

I wasn’t explicitly planning on moving away from Adobe, but I was dead set on moving away from Windows/Apple, and it turns out that those are effectively the same thing! And now, I’ve worked out how to use Darktable, and I wouldn’t go back to Adobe if I could!
