I have been fascinated by ON1 Photo RAW (now at version 2019.2), an extensive photo editing and image management software package. It is available for both Mac and Windows platforms. My fascination has been especially piqued by the fact that through 2019.03.28, we can buy the product (plus a bundle of do-dads whose value I will not try and assess) for USD 69.99.
Although one review referred to a USD 99 annual fee, the publisher's site makes it quite clear (once you find it) that there is no such thing; you buy the product and get a perpetual license. (Perhaps there is also some kind of subscription that gives you updates beyond the "free" ones.)
I have ON1 (as I will call it from here on) installed, but have not yet done much with it. I plan to give it a test spin soon.
I suspect that its usage paradigm will in many ways somewhat parallel those of Photoshop and Lightroom. I almost never use Photoshop, and when I do, it is a fairly ancient version; I have never used Lightroom. So my learning curve of ON1 may be slower than for folks having experience with one or the other of those applications.

In any event, I would be interested to hear from any of the members who have had experience with ON1 Photo RAW (even if earlier versions).
Thanks.
Best regards,
Doug
