Thanks Larry.

This is both good news … and bad news … for me.

Because I am only (slowly) getting back into (amateur) photograph after decades of absence (from the era of Tri-X and Kodachrome), one of the aspects of digital photography that I am trying to come to grips with is post-processing. I haven’t settled on a solution yet, so Black Friday is creating opportunities … and monetary challenges … for finding one.

I have experimented some with ACDSee Ultimate, but have not mastered it. (And I used Photoshop in the distant past as well - versions 3 - 6). Very few people discuss ACDSee or even mention it, so I have been reluctant to put too much of my limited time into what seems to be a marginal product.

In contrast, DxO gets a lot of press and mention, so my strong temptation is to acquire it and spend the time to learn it. Black Friday is likely to push me over the edge.

My comments above are not completely germane to the thread, so I apologize on that regard. I come here to learn. Thus I thank those who have provided helpful info.

I hope that some day I will be able to post the stuff here that you asked for.

There are good free options. Since you are a Canon user, Digital Photo Professional is really quite good. The main downside is that it won't do corrections for third-party or adapted lenses. Other good free options include Darktable, RawTherapee, and ART (my preferred primary editor, even after having used all the others I mentioned).
