Hi Greg,

If you want to try out different editing software I do recommend looking at free open source software they can be very similar to the famous ones. One that I know of and recommend are below:

Dark Table - It is similar to Adobe Lightroom for your Raw Editing. Here's the link...
https://www.darktable.org/install/ 

Gimp - It is very similar to Adobe Photoshop for your Bitmap editing. Not sure if it has AI yet tho. Link...
https://www.gimp.org/

I used both of these before paying for adobe package. But now I use lightroom and Photoshop and I can't see myself going back haha.

Hope this will help
George

I use Capture One All-in-one bundle which allows me to use both desktop & mobile versions of the software. This software can be used on both Mac, M chip series iPad Pro, iPhone & on PCs.

The alternative is Hasselblad's FREE Phocus software which has both a mobile version & a desktop version for editing RAW files. It can be used for the RAW files from my Nikon & Fuji X cameras too, although it is designed to be used with Hasselblad's X & H series & the extraordinarily expensive Phase One digital camera backs.
