The Best Lightroom Alternative? How ON1 Compares to Lightroom and Photoshop

Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop programs have long been the standard in the photography industry, and for good reason. However, many users complain about Adobe's limited pricing structure, which has allowed a few other companies to get a stake in the photo editing space. One of those Lightroom alternatives is ON1 Photo RAW, made by ON1.

ON1 allows users to buy the software outright and avoid paying a monthly fee. However, is the software good enough to replace Lightroom and Photoshop? In today's video, I compare ON1 Photo RAW to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and discuss whether they're viable alternatives for your photo editing needs.
