Hi i am a hobbyist and currently do not have spare cash for photo editing software like lightroom. Can i find out if there are any free software(legal) for download and can work to edit raw files like lightroom?
Thanks
Ok will research. Thanks
Oh I am using Sony.
You can check out this article: https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/lightroom-alternatives/
Do note that Lightroom is a Cataloguing Program (digital asset management) + RAW Developer + some Image Processing. Check out the article for replacements for the various functions
I haven't tried any of the alternatives as Lightroom fits most of my needs, however may be checking out the free ones as backup
Lightroom is moving towards a subscription based model so you may not want to build your workflow around it. I, for one, is looking for an alternative as I don't like subscription models.Thanks! Does Lightroom have a software version now or its purely via monthly subscription?

You did not mention what camera you are using. Most cameras models comes packaged with some processing s/w.
If you do have some spare cash, maybe consider buying a low cost processing software. I do have Affinity Photo. It is pretty powerful and is a Photoshop (not Photoshop Element) competitor. It cost less than S$70. The only disadvantage is that it does not have a cataloguing function.
I am using rawtherapee (still learning)
another more user friendly is PhotoScape X....
