Cutting ties with Adobe (lemmy.world)

I currently have an Adobe CC subscription that I would really like to end, so am looking for some advice or recommendations. I have been searching around but am struggling to find alternatives due to some fairly strict requirements.

What I am looking for is a Lightroom style app for Linux and Android that would sync to the cloud, or ideally sync to my personal cloud storage. I'm happy to pay a one off lifetime payment but would prefer to donate to a FOSS project if possible.

I have started to play around with Darktable and do know that you can use remote storage but the syncing seems a little clunky.

Any suggestions at all will be very much appreciated.

Edit: I need to learn how to read carefully...

Darktable is a good alternative for Lightroom, albeit slightly more complex.

Original post:

If open-source is not really a must I'd say Affinity Photo. One time purchase and provides 98% of what Photoshop does.

If you are looking for an open-source solution, GIMP is likely one of your best options.

Yeah Darktable is looking like the front runner at the moment, just need to nail down the syncing.

The part which is still a big question is if there is a good alternative to Lightroom for Android. The Android Lightroom app is really quite good and has almost all of the functionality that I need for quick on the go edits, but I am yet to find any equivalent apps that tick this box.
