3 Free Opensource Lightroom Alternatives compared: RAWmakase, RedLamp & Lightcraft

I’ve used Lightroom since version one, and my photo library is now roughly 110,000 images. So what would it actually take to switch? I give Lightcraft, RAWmakase and RedLamp a quick hands-on test using the same RAW image—looking at colours, editing speed, layout and how well they fit an existing Lightroom workflow. Lightcraft gets a brief first look before I spend more time with the other two. RAWmakase’s catalogue import is a big draw for me, while RedLamp feels faster and has some interesting editing tools. Ideally, I’d take the best of both. Which would you use?
