I care, but I don't know how else to edit my photos on my phone and seamlessly back them up.

I use Lightroom on a Google Pixel. It costs $10/mo for a terabyte of storage and an editor that's constantly being updated. I'm not arguing that it's the best option, I just don't know any solid alternatives.

If anyone else has a solution this use case, essentially the same as someone who wants to leave Google Photos' storage/editing suite, I'd be happy to ditch Adobe.

Edit: a word

I use digiKam as the replacement for Lightrooms photo management tools.

I used darktable as a replacement for Lightroom's photo editing tools.

I use a hosted Photoprism install for making the photos available online, sharing with friends/family etc.

This is almost what I do, but could you elaborate on how you use digicam for management?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Digikam has really strong tagging, searching and workflow tools. So I import to Digikam, sort by quality, reject/approve and tag in Digikam, and I use it to launch specific photos in to darktable for editing.
