New member. So happens I have AfterShot3 Pro. Capable program. Easy to use. I use it mostly for the watermark feature. However, a couple of caveats for you to consider:
1. If it doesn't open your new camera's raw files you may need to tell it what camera you are using. I got a new Sony A7Riv and it would not initially open raw files from that camera. On the settings window at the very bottom is a "more" button which use can use to tell it what camera you are using and if needed it will download an update for that specific camera and you should be good to go.
2. For Sony I have been using the free Capture One Express for Sony program as I find I like the quick edit setting easier to use, but still use AfterShot 3 Pro to add watermarks, but have come across one problem with that workflow. I also use Topaz De-Noise AI which I love, but using it before or after using AfterShot 3 Pro watermark feature, AfterShot 3 Pro quits displaying metadata, so if I export file from AfterShot 3 Pro, the exported file does not include this info and it also does not show up in Windows photo viewer. I contacted Topaz and they indicated it is their issue and are working on a fix. I have a workaround but it requires my initial raw file export be to a tiff file rather than JPEG, so even though AfterShot3 Pro still can't display the metadata, it does appear in Windows Photo Viewer. But dealing with 150mb+ tiff files does chew up storage space.
Sorry for the long winded response but hopefully it answers some of your question.
