The windows Photo application (comes with your Windows PC) is very capable for your needs as is Google Photos.
And Google Photos can be used on an IPhone as well (not sure about on a Mac PC).

Going through old photographs, I realized that some of my best outdoor color soc photos were from my Nikon D50 with kit lens. In most cases, it's not even close. Wish I hadn't sold it to help fund my next gas attack.

Just spent a few days there the last weekend of October. We just missed the color because of the warm weather this year. The north Georgia mountains are a great getaway and Blue Ridge is nice little town.

Maybe the best I've seen. Kept expecting to see a photo op with you and the Duke.

The Photos editor that comes with windows 10 is surprisingly good. May be all you need and is ready to go if you use Win10

Thanks for all the comments. Lightroom is such a dichotomy in that it is loved and not loved (hated would be too strong) by so many and many times by the same person. This, and other threads, kind of proves the angst of my op. If you don't use LR extensively, it is just not that easy to have a consistent, understandable, and easy workflow.

I don't think there are many on here who would not love to be able to use LR as their main editing program.

Just to be clear, LR CC and LR Classic both run on my desktop and I can edit in both, with the CC being the simpler version of CC Classic. I never edit on a tablet and rarely on my phone.

Thank you for the input. I have read your responses for years and know you are the expert on this. I may not be conveying my question correctly.

Most of my photography is grandchildren, family events, vacations with .jpeg. To my surprise, the Win10 photos app has handled most of my needs very well, is very intuitive, and requires little time (I still work full time). It allows me to work from my PC file tree and mirror to external hard drive and inexpensive cloud backup.

After going through the CC trial period, I liked some of the deeper editing options and opted for the $9.99/month that comes with 20 gb storage. I would use the LR CC (mobile not full classic version) most of the time as it would fill all my needs...except the 20 gb storage of course. Even the upgrade to 1 tb will run out soon.

My question, is there an easy way to not use the could storage, work out of my PC file tree, and avoid the cost over time of continually adding more Adobe storage at an additional $10/month. I really, really don't like using their catalogue system (maybe I'm making it more complicated than it is...there are so many different books and videos that tell you to use it diffidently)

If you know of a link to a video explaining how this would work, would be most appreciated.

I agree with Dave. I made the jump from the 7000 to the 7500 and was very pleased

Thanks all for the suggestions. I can Google search all day but, for me, there is nothing better than the experience and help on this forum.

I agree with Larry...time is the greatest investment with LR PS AND Gimp.

On these forums and others one of he greatest missed programs for the amateur is Picasa. Simple edits, sufficient organization, very little time.

Does the HVL-F20M twist to bounce left/right?

Thanks Rick and Phil

Wow, interesting idea. Thanks

I have transitioned to a Sony A6400 and am looking for a compact flash that will bounce. Using mainly indoors for parties, holidays, and family gatherings. Will have the Sigma 30mm 1.4 mounted on it most of the time for these occasions.

Would appreciate input from any current user with similar system.

Thanks
