I couldn't get that page to load on my computer. Is it basically the same as this article?

This is off topic for sure but it's a new thing for editing photos that just came out.

RapidRaw. An open source Lightroom clone is now available for free for Mac, Windows, and Linux. I don't know if it works on all Linux distros but it works well on my Linux Mint 22 system. Did I mention it's free? It will undergo improvements over time. There's a generative Ai addon for it using Comfy UI but I haven't been able to get it work on my Linux or Win11 systems.

Download it before Adobe finds a way to shut it down.

If you install this on Windows it will give you a message to not install it. It's only because it doesn't have the certificate. I had no problem bypassing the warning and installing it. Lots of good software is that way, sometimes for a short time, sometimes longer.

Since I do a lot of photo editing I already have Lightroom Classic, Luminar Neo, Capture One, ON1, and a few other editing apps on my Win11 system. Of those Neo and LrC (Lightroom Classic) are my two favorites due to the powerful built-in Ai tools and ease of use but they are all good.

I'd like to see RapidRaw develop to the point where I wouldn't need to pay for the yearly subscription for the Adobe Lightroom suite.

 

It's never going to happen but I'd love to have one of these. It would be even better if a small motorcycle could be attached so I could land, say 100 miles away, plug the plane in to recharge, then hop on a bike, probably electric to stay in the same ecosystem, to run around town on.

Hybrid-electric STOL showcases flexibility in first public demo flights

Electra is building an aircraft that can take off and land using an airfield that's one-tenth the size of a standard runway. To demonstrate "blown lift" aero and hybrid-electric propulsion capabilities, the EL2 prototype has just nailed public test flights at Virginia Tech.
