The gallery hired a photographer for the opening night. He came back with 140 photos and a Sunday deadline for the print wall. He usually did this in Lightroom on his studio machine, but the studio was two hours away and locked.
We pointed him at PhotoLab on his laptop. It runs locally, no uploads, no cloud subscription. He imported the shoot, applied the gallery's preset, exported the high-resolution TIFFs and the share sheets.
The prep took one evening. The gallery got their prints on time. The photographer kept a copy of the full set with no shipping costs.
The pattern we notice again and again: people don't switch tools because they're better. They switch because it lets them finish the thing, wherever they are, before the deadline.
