Look at On1 RAW and also Topaz Labs, both can be tested out for free for 30 days and both are excellent. I've been using them for many years, along with Photoshop. You might also take a look at the NIK collection or maybe it is now DXO.

Nobody ever mentions Corel PaintShop Pro. I find it a lot easier to use than PhotoShop, it has an extensive set of tools and is cheaper. Right now it is on sale for around $30 and the Ultimate version is not much more. I would suggest the Ultimate version. It works on .jpeg, RAW and many other photo file formats. It comes with access to a lot of training videos. I think they even have a trial version. Buy it. Due to inflation, it's less than the cost of a Happy Meal. 😁

GAS applies to software too.
True, but experimenting with different software stimulates the brain. Buying yet another lens probably doesn’t.

Our OP says they've used the best, LR Classic. Thinking anything else is worth considering suggests they have failed to master this software, understanding it is the best for all general photography editing. Utube training is free, no GAS, just time and effort.

I've used Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Photoshop CS products since 2002 when I purchased my first digital camera an a Olympus 4040. I'm have my 5th.camera Nikon Z6ii. I switched from the PS family of products two years ago as I'm not a fan of products that requires a subscription. I am using Capture One 23 and am so glad I switched. I like the features and how it works. It took a bit of time to learn as with any new software.
Capture One 23 offers a 30 trial!!
