I really like the super easy watermarking which can use logos and text and be batch applied.We use good L glass pretty much exclusively (apart from one 50mm and a compact travel long zoom green ring lens) and all of the lens profiles are set up) Lens correction is very good (Raw only).Colour rendering can be selected by camera body.Only useful for RAW processing as the best features require that.I also trialled Luminar AI and found it unsatisfactory. I am no longer running an up to date version of Adobe software so comparisons are difficult. As per the other thread I don't like the adobe subscription model. In reality almost all use was delegated to a graphic designer who produced our web images and brochures using InDesign etc, but I was very familiar with processing my own images. To rehash a bit: I have about 12 years experience with Photoshop and Lightroom, as part of Creative Cloud in latter years, but I stopped using it last July when I sold a business.

The reviews generally say that DXO is in a different league to Lightroom for rendering etc. A kind person here recommended I try DXO Photolab 4 Elite and so I have spent about 7 hours fiddling with a trial version and reading reviews. I decided to start a new thread as my previous one has got somewhat bogged down by my pursuit of library issues.
