If you absolutely need Lightroom and no other alternate would work for your use case, I'm sure 1337x.to will have it. Otherwise, I would recommend Darktable as an alternate. It is free, open-source and just as powerful.

Yes more people should know about darktable
I've tried darkroom but so far it has been a confusing and frustrating experience. I am willing to learn it with time but in the meanwhile I really need to get some photos edited and out. But thank you I'll try that site
Same experience with darktable. It seems to do the basics, but the workflow is just so much more cumbersome.
monkrus.ws is the usual site for adobe stuff.
monkrus is an absolute lifesaver for pre-cracked adobe stuff
Is there a megathread around here? Can someone share a link if it does exist?
if you ever want to know where to find something, this is the guide.
Thank you so much this might be exactly what I need!
genp is what I use. use their subreddit for instructions.
Can I ask what's the feature that Lightroom has but darktable doesn't?
Adobe products should be avoided even if free
Photoshop doesn't have a real free alternative, but Lightroom has an almost 1:1 free competitor
Last time I looked at darktable it didn't use the camera default for raw files.
I've tried darktable but so far it has been a confusing and frustrating experience. The program doesn't have some of the options that guides suggest and some modules completely break the image and won't allow you to control z backwards. It's probably user error partially but while I learn that I really need to get some photos edited and out with something familiar.
so it's monkrus, works really well
I really wanted to use something FOSS or at least non-adobe, but after a few hours gave up and bought a year subscription for Lightroom.
My use-case: on Android tablet I need a rating/flagging functionality with photo management. It just doesn't exist outside of Lightroom unfortunately.
I use Darktable on Laptop. There is no iOS/Android version.
Open for suggestions if I missed something.
yes unfortunately on tablet there's no replacement, and if someone is in the adobe ecosystem can pick up the work very easily on desktop if everything is saved in the cloud
I use darktable nowadays. But last I used lightroom it had merge to hdr and panaroma features which were great.
