Hi all,

Since Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10 in october , i bought a new computer with Windows 11

I discovered last week when i got that new computer, that Lightroom 6 standalone version doesn't work anymore with Windows 11 :-(

Lucky enough for me i didn't put my old SSD in my new computer, so on my old computer i have Win 10 and a working version of Lightroom 6

So whenever i want to print a few photo's on my Epson 1500W ( i need a ICC profiles profile for my Inktek Powerchrome K3 ink) i have to bring in my old computer..
That's the annoying part of it.. :)

Is there a good Lightroom alternative where i can use Icc profiles and don't need a monthly subscription.

You can print color managed with Gimp, otherwise Darktable is a decent alternative to Lightroom. Both are open source and free.

you can run programs in compatibility mode like Windows 7. It should be possible to do so.
