Photoshop has all of the bells and whistles used by professional graphic artists. I have used it for years (for work, although I am not a graphic artist) and I probably use about 20 percent of it. If you have a Windows computer, I would suggest a program like FastStone Image Viewer. It's free, and it allow you to do basic editing. Plus, it opens very quickly. Luminar is also a good program and has lots of presets, or programs like Photoshop Elements or PaintShop Pro are cheaper than Photoshop and will get the job done.

Can you please clarify your last sentence? Doesn't that also apply to other RAW processors?

Camera makers don't share their proprietary coding with third party software makers. Those companies have to do reverse engineering. From what I understand, their software utilizes only about 70% to 80% of the information in the RAW files because they have to reverse engineer. I used to shoot with a professional photographer who knows people at both Nikon and Adobe. They both concur on that.

Don’t know anything about PS or LR but “the learning curve is steep” comes up a lot.
Luminar is easy to get started in and is powerful as well.
Have fun!
