[Leica] Photo-editing software recommendations?

[Philippe]

LR Classic is now LR CCC - Classic but Cloud based.
LR CC doesn’t work for (serious) photographers, you miss essential bells and whistles. 
I tried it, and changed my subscription the next day to LR CCC.

The offer may vary from country to country though.
