Create without Adobe (free n' paid) 2025
There is no doubt that Adobe Suite is great, even in some case it's probably the best. But you can be mad at Adobe for many reasons, expensive monthly subscribtion method, bad stability, useless features, paying for tools you don't use. Here is my list with the best way to ditch Adobe monopoly in my opinion.
I tried to add Open Source alternatives too as some are really good.
I only covered Adobe softwares that I've used so I'm sorry if you don't find what you came for...

Pretty darn good now that they've resolved the processing pipeline issue (that undid things you did in order to go back to some step earlier in the pipeline). That may read somewhat confusing but, if you a user of the earlier versions, you know what I'm talking about.
But, as stated, this new version resolves that (for me) fatal flaw. Although Exposure may be used as a plugin for Lightroom, it's also fairly easy to use the Nik apps (like Silver Efex, etc.) as well as other external editors as plugins in Exposure.
If you really don't like repeatedly opening your wallet to Adobe, Exposure's perpetual license is a good option.
After a number of months, I'm liking this software more and more. If the company would add the same sort of "select subject", "select sky", and "select background" automation that is present in LR, this app would a no-brainer choice. As it is, I'm able to add Luminar to my workflow for those sometimes edge cases instead of always relying on LR. Let's say I'm 90% of the way and don't feel like I'm emptying my wallet into Adobe's gaping maw.
