What instead of Bridge
Oct 5, 2017 13:08:51 #
I have used Bridge for 15 years. But I have finally removed every vestige of the "Evil Empire", aka Adobe, from my computers. Affinity Photo made that easy, except for one missing part. I still want some software to handle my library. I love that I can assign several levels of stars to an image. I can tag the image with any of several colors. I can sort by color or stars or also format.
I've looked at various other products from LightZone to Aftershot. A reviewer promised me that ON1's Browser would do this and was free. But ON1 has now embedded it with a bunch of other stuff and charges. I don't want the other stuff--I would pay for the right browser.
I am using Freestone Viewer, but it doesn't give me enough categories for sorting.
Came home from San Miguel de Allende with over 1300 images. Of course, many are near duplicates--I want to place them in preference order, but haven't found a software to do this.
Anyone have a better option?

Photomechanic, Lightroom and/or On1 Browse - and all are compliant with Bridge if you end up deciding to go back.

I use PhotoMechanic and ACDSeee for browsing, sorting, re-naming, rating, keywording, etc.
ACDSee also has pretty decent editing capabilities including raw.
There are several versions available:

I've been an ACDSee user since it was freeware.

Recently, I have been playing with On1RAW 2017 and I kinda like it. When I have serious (paid) work I use LRCC and PSCC.
