Do you mean LR or PS? Do you mean free or low-cost? The question is quite vague.

It is strictly for Macs at this point. Stupid but reality. Reading their forum on the program, they do not even hint that there will be a Windows version. In fact they have been a Windows centric company for a long time now, but they apparently want to Mac it up a bit. But reading many of the problems they are having thus far with it, them competing on the same level with Adobe is a ways off yet. While yes I would love to see Adobe knocked down a peg or two, and actually have to compete, this program get 5 yawns, since it is strictly a Mac&Cheese program. They will have to develop a Windows version to even get anywhere with it. So far it looks like a long on promise, but short on delivery deal once again.

 If I were on a Mac, I would be trying Affinity photo.
Since I am a Windows guy, I use LR5.7, Corel Paintshop Pro X7 (with Redfield and Topaz plugins), and some Picasa for quick review and snap edits. Finding myself using LR less but it still has a few things that work well for me.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I have a Mac for work (day job :( ), and I may give the beta a try. But honestly, their video does nothing for me.

Helpful thread to see considering my Adobe license has expired and I need new software.
