With these stipulations in mind:
LR (+PS)
>can be pirated and setup in 10 minutes, full-featured, not an "express version"
>seamless integration with each other
>potentially shittier raw processing
C1
>superior processing
>doesn't really integrate into anything, possibly affinity, but not as seamlessly as LR<-->PS
>express version free but raised price on pro version to $200 usd (which means $250+ if converted to other currencies)
I was going to stick with C1 but them raising their prices (for Sony users) from $60-75 to $200 last month kicked me in the sack. Most of the arguments against LR seem to be that it just isn't quite as good as C1 at processing RAWs and that Adobe's subscription model is stupid. But is LR/PS combo better if LR is 90% as good as C1 ... but is "free"?
