I was undecided about the whole Lightroom versus Aperture thing for something like a year. I'm just a fairly serious amateur photographer with no professional ambitions whatsoever. I shoot with the intention of not needing to do serious image manipulation to arrive at a satisfactory image. That said, the lens correction feature is kind of what pushed me over to trying Lightroom. And then, a month later, we get the whole Creative Cloud thing. Too soon to say that I have the luck of Leo Laporte, but . . .
I just chatted with a support bot on Adobe's web site. Adobe's bot doesn't seem to have a script for customers that only use Lightroom. It was like the rep couldn't fathom that someone would only use Lightroom. Looks like Lightroom is headed for "pros only" territory. I guess I may need to reconsider Apple's Aperture . . . I can't see paying $20 a month for Lightroom. Hopefully Adobe will offer something more reasonable for Lightroom users, but it isn't looking so good at the moment.
UPDATE: Whew! No need to panic. Looks like I'm gonna be OK with Lightroom at least through the next version. After that, who knows. REF. Adobe's Lightroom Journal: Lightroom and the Creative Cloud
