Phase One Capture One 20$129-299 | captureone.com/en/store
For many years, Adobe`s Lightroom was seen as the gold standard for photographers seeking a way to manage and edit their Raw files on Windows or Mac OS.

I regularly hear from pros who`ve switched to Capture One, and its popularity with enthusiasts is also on the uptick.
Now in its 13th generation, Phase One`s flagship imaging application covers all the bases: Images can be tagged, rated or given easily searchable keywords, and a wide range of manual and automatic tools are available to correct common exposure issues and lens defects, or to grade color and bring your artistic vision to life.
And for many cameras and camera backs from Canon, Fujifilm, Mamiya Leaf, Nikon and Sony, Capture One can even take charge of the capture process, allowing you to shoot remotely by tethering your camera to your desktop or laptop.
Key takeaways:

Improved ease of use and image quality
Redesigned Basic Color Editor is both intuitive and powerful

Good support for mainstream/pro cameras, but less popular brands and some consumer-oriented models are missing from the list
Higher pricing than rivals, but you can choose subscription or perpetual licensing
