For those that use RAW
I am trialing a program called Affinity, as I just got a Sony Compact [RX100vi] that's not supported by my copy of Photoshop 6 [bu^^ered if I'm going to spend money on getting CC]
So far so good it does everything I need very well and very quickly.
Pleased with the camera as well so far. A bit complicated for an old git like myself but I'll get there.
Stand alone program costing around £49, it's well worth a look if you are a RAW fan.
It does Nikon and Canon as well.

Re: For those that use RAW
I got it during lockdown for £25.
I don't use it for raw files because I can still use LR6 for my ancient cameras.
It is good for focus stacking and some other stuff, and as a Photoshop replacment.

Re: For those that use RAW
Came across this chart of alternatives to the adobe suite a while back and stashed it for looking at later to try move away from Adobe and maybe go back to linux

I have Photoshop elements and updated camera raw but that still doesn't support arw files.
I will go with Affinity when the trial period expires.

Re: For those that use RAW
I'm an Affinity user, have been for a few years. Can't fault it.
I also use topaz denoise AI for miraculous nois reduction when needed
