It is more of a Photoshop replacement than Lightroom. I have it, but I rarely use it as I am not a pixel pusher. The support for tablets (read pen based graphics tablets) is not all that good. The RAW persona (Affinities term for what is a slimmed down ACR) is not all that conducive to re-entry. Once you have "developed" the RAW image, if you change your mind, it is better to just go back and start over. It does not have a Asset Management system either.
But for half price, you can not beat it. It is pretty powerful and if you can work around the tutorials you can get a lot done.
