Dear users,
I’d like to draw your attention to one specific point: recently I have noticed in a few different posts across our forum, that when a user is not fully satisfied with our products and/or he/she uses our products as a “piece of the puzzle” in a mixed workflow (e.g., using PL to create linear DNGs, then editing the DNGs in LR…), some of our forum users have a tendency to ‘blame’ such user and/or ‘forcing’ him/her to fully adopt our products.
First of all, when a user isn’t fully satisfied and/or not convinced by our products, this can be the result of too many things, and drawing ‘quick conclusions’ may not always be a good solution.
A personal opinion should always be respected, and there is no such a thing like a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Workflows are different, needs are different, gears are different, and so on.
I appreciate the fact that our community always tries to help and advise someone like @JoJu, but please, also remember that his personal choice should be understood and respected.
We continuously improve our products and we collect all user feedback to detect areas of improvement and ‘unseen’ shortcomings. What @JoJu is experiencing is that, unfortunately, PL is not a good fit for his workflow and needs.
@JoJu : I’ll be more than happy if you could further describe the issues you are facing using PL. Just direct-message me 
Thanks,
Steven.
