Lightroom 5 Alternative (preferably supporting LR Actions if possible)

iKokomo · Jul 2, 2021

With my upgrade to a Nikon Z camera, my copy of LR 5 finally does not natively support the RAW files.

I was wondering what the best/closest LR alternative? Also, since I have a nice collection of LR Actions, is there an alternative that supports them?

I am using an Intel Mac.

Thanks!

*Edit: a reason I want to upgrade instead of converting the RAW to DNG is because LR5 has gotten very slow/sluggish. I have tried all of the "tips/tricks" to speed up LR5 that I read online. It really didn't solve the problem.

I had the same issue when I bought the Canon 5Dsr. I still use LR 5 as I won't pay for a subscription service. I use Adobe DNG converter and import the DNG files into LR. Works a treat. Adds and extra step to the workflow but I can deal with that.
