Originally posted by NatureSeeker808 I've been a faithful Corel Aftershot/PS Pro user for the last 10 years or so....seems not many other forum users are in my boat. I do also use Raw Therapee (more often since updating my body to a KP) and like the results I am getting. (User interface has steadily improved over the years)
I refuse to buy into the subscription model for personal-use software. The only downside of being a Corel PS Pro user that I can see is we're now losing access to the Nik Collection (I have the free version downloaded from Google in 2017) so I may delay upgrading this season....OR if DXO Photolab announces integration of the Nik Collection into their PhotoLab s/w, I could be persuaded to at least download a trial version. But having to use three stand-alone packages in my post-process workflow is a non-starter.

Another AfterShot/PaintShop Pro user, I've been using it a number of years. I don't do a lot in post, just raw development and minor adjustments. I also have the free download of DxO 11 Pro that I use on occasion.
Edit: One thing that gripes me about Coral is all the ads. Open the program and get an ad, email after email about special offers, pop-ups, etc.
