Remember when Lightroom was new and fast and it didn't require a $USD5900 machine to run it fast for 'hobbyist' photographers? Neither do I :-)

Remember when Lightroom was new and fast and it didn’t require a $USD5900 Windows machine (source: Paul Stamatiou @Stammy’s Building a Lightroom PC) to run it fast for ‘hobbyist’ photographers? Neither do I :-)
Time to switch to Lightroom CC or something much faster on mobile :-)
Moral of the story: All software needs to be ruthlessly refactored eventually i.e. we all build big balls of mud :-) or something!
By making RAW files too big and not doing any sort of in-camera or send to iOS and Android workflows, digital camera companies aren’t doing ‘hobbyists’ any favours to make our workflow fast, convenient and fun.
