For most photographers, CameraBag can do everything Lightroom can do, and more, at a much more accessible price and without a subscription. It's a great Lightroom alternative. A few exceptions: it doesn't contain a photo library management system and it doesn't contain localized brush-based “photoshopping” tools aside from a spot heal tool. We think it’s better for excluding these two things - see below. It's designed for working with the image as a whole and not trying to “photoshop” reality, but instead to create emotional styles. Many Lightroom users will find specific useful tools in CameraBag that they’ll want to use in addition to or instead of their Lightroom workflow (like, for example, using CameraBag’s more advanced film grain controls to batch apply grain, perhaps after exporting from Lightroom). Others will be drawn to CameraBag Pro for video processing, or simply to use some of CameraBag’s hundreds of included built-in presets for specific situations.
Many may find that they like Lightroom for some specific tasks, and CameraBag for others, perhaps for quicker edits on something outside of their preferred Lightroom workflow. Lightroom is $120 per year and only works while your subscription is active. CameraBag is far cheaper, at $30 for CameraBag Photo and $50 for CameraBag Pro, and requires no subscription: you own any version you purchase, and it will keep working forever.
In addition, you get a year of free upgrades to newer versions. The exception is on certain app stores (such as the Mac App Store) where this model is not supported, and where inexpensive subscriptions are necessary to allow us to make continual updates.
Here are some of our top picks:. Video support (CameraBag Pro only): Everything you can do to an image in CameraBag Pro, you can do to videos with the exact same tools. This is ideal for wedding photographers or anyone else who wants to develop a signature style and apply it across multiple photos and videos. Advanced Tools: CameraBag contains many tools and adjustments which simply don't exist in Lightroom. These include curve-based color adjustments (see, for example, CameraBag’s Coloring Curve, Hue Exposure, and Hue Saturation adjustments), filtered black and white conversion, advanced grain controls, and more.

Layerable adjustments/presets: Every adjustment applied in CameraBag appears, in the order they’re applied, as a tile in the bottom tray. It's trivial to rearrange them, toggle them on and off, go in and edit their values, etc. Applying grain before or after sharpening can make a huge difference in the final look of an image - there's no way to control which happens first in Lightroom. Hundreds of high-quality included presets: CameraBag includes hundreds of professionally-focused editable presets. These include analog film emulation, popular modern digital styles, grain packs, color correction toolsets, and specific filters to help with different portrait and landscape scenarios. Easy watermarking: Lightroom Classic has an antiquated watermark dialog, but the newest Lightroom includes no watermark support. CameraBag lets you include a watermark in any preset, or saved as its own preset that you can then layer on top of any other adjustments or preset, easily visible and adjustable in the main interface.
Preset-based workflow: Unlike in Lightroom, CameraBag presets are front-and-center, fully layerable, integrated into the main interface, and easy to browse, load, and save. Photographers can apply presets to both photos and videos as a one-click solution or as a starting point, further adjusting per image as needed.
With any loaded preset, you can see exactly which adjustments are included at a single glance. If video is an important part of your media processing, there’s no question—CameraBag Pro handles videos just as well as photos, and Lightroom doesn’t. If you don’t want or need Lightroom’s photo management system or “photoshopping” tools, we believe CameraBag offers a much more efficient, powerful, and joyful photo editing experience. Especially for those who need to process many photos and videos, like wedding photographers/videographers and social media managers, with CameraBag’s focus on intuitive tools and an efficient preset workflow. Not having to pay for an expensive monthly subscription doesn’t hurt either. Those who do their work on a laptop will find CameraBag’s dramatically lower resource usage a lifesaver.
Tone curves are a good example of something that is much more powerful and at the same time easier to use in CameraBag, as compared to similar apps. The algorithm we use for how the control points affect the curve (which comes from algorithms created for our 3D modeler, Silo) results in smoother curves that are easier to control without the curve going haywire. The Amount slider on our tone curves lets you set a low overall amount and then have incredibly fine control with large curve movements. It also makes it easy to dial up or down the overall strength of a curve’s effect without having to adjust each individual control point. The Method dropdown on our tone curves lets you use different algorithms for different needs (Value can preserve skin tones in portraits better, while RGB tends to affect saturation more but can be desirable for increasing both saturation and contrast in a landscape photo, for instance). You can layer on more than one tone curve in CameraBag, which is impossible in most other apps.
This lets you, for example, use one curve to control shadows and another for controlling highlights, without having to try to fit all your adjustments into a single tone curve. In CameraBag, there is no built-in photo library. This is a strength! However you've organized your photos on your computer, that's how you access them in CameraBag. This makes it much easier to instantly work with photos without having to do an import step, and also makes it easier to then edit the same photos in other programs. It also uses MUCH less hard drive space. While editing in CameraBag, you can quickly move through photos in your current file’s folder to see them with the current adjustments applied, using the left and right keyboard arrow keys.
The lack of a library system saves huge amounts of space. By default, Lightroom is set to use up to 25%(!!) of your hard drive's space for its special photo cache. CameraBag uses 0%. It also comes out on top in every other measurable system resource (as measured on a 2017 Macbook Pro):Install space. Lightroom Classic: 2.5GB (plus more for the scattered Creative Cloud files). Lightroom: 700MB. CameraBag: 62MBRAM.:.
Lightroom Classic: 1.44GB (not counting several hidden Creative Cloud processes that add hundreds more megabytes of RAM use). Lightroom: 1.84GB. CameraBag: 470 MB.When loading the same same 3888x2592 photo, at the same zoom level, with the same window size.
