Oops. I meant DXO.
Capture One, Luminar Neo, DXO, Affinity,... which Adobe alternative do you use?

When there is a change in direction, sometimes one needs to think through decisions. And so, a little while ago in this thread, I posted the following:
After discussions, it became evident that I was stuck in my old ways (Go Figure, I'm long in the tooth) and needed further investigation. Earlier this week, I decided to try DigiKam (https://www.digikam.org) and the Affinity suite. Affinity will certainly replace PS, and DigiKam, at first glance, may be a good replacement for LR.
More to come on DigiKam as Affinity is a go!

OMG—I am still looking for an LR replacement. IMHO, just forget DigiKam; for me, it is out. I am back to Darktable to continue my testing.

I started with darktable, so I have no experience with LR or a comparison. Darktable is great, does everything, I love it!
I use DxO PL7 and Nik Suite along side and with LrC and PS. They each have features that can complement each other and allow me to reach the outcomes I seek. I shoot a mix of landscape, wildlife, macro and infrared. Each of the above can contribute to my workflow. There are many quality pathways allowing each of us to find one or more that work for us.

I've been using the Affinity Suite for about three years.
Price was an issue with PS. I'm not a professional, but from the forums and other online info, including the user support online, the consensus has been strong in its support.
There are three apps in the suite: Photo, Designer, Publisher (currently v.2.5x).
It's not a 1:1 replacement for PS, but for what many who are much better than me in editing, it offers quite a bit. Just my personal opinion.

I too use Affinity Photo on my iMac and also it runs on my iPad -useful for me when out on a trip should I need to edit, though I rarely do.
