Alternatives to Adobe RAW?

[snegron]

I currently have a subscription with Adobe (mostly for Photoshop; never been a fan of Lightroom). Like many others, I'm not a fan of the monthly subscription model.

What other RAW editing programs do others here use?

DxO PhotoLab is what I use alongside Photoshop, Bridge and Camera Raw.

Affinity Photo 1 - bought version 2 but still go back to version 1. They started now with a subscription model due to an online A.I. thing but I think you still can get Affinity photo 2 without subscription.

I'm still happy with ON1. You can subscribe or buy a perpetual license for a particular year's release.

Affinity Photo 3 is free and you can add on the AI if you wish for a fee.

Nitro on a Mac.It's from the Aperture programmers, quite lean but adequate for my needs.

darktable: I guess I'm in a tiny minority here!

The free demo goes on for ever. The upgrades are free too. You can even get your hands on the latest development version (if you have a little bit of courage!) .

And no, it is not just for Linux nerds. Very much alive and well on Windows. I'd say Mac too, but I don't know the current situation with some signing thing those people have.
