[Leica] Photo-editing software recommendations?

[Richard Man]

I have been using LR since v2. However, if you jump in now, you will have
to get the "cloud version". It's not even so much that you are paying
"Adobe tax" every year, because the software is worth the $100+ every year,
if you can afford it. The major problem is the instability. Just do some
web searches and you will find many stories.

Since I only use LR (and PSD), but the pre-cloud versions, and nothing
else, I don't know what to recommend. Good luck.
