Have you tried Darktable or Rawtherapee? Both are excellent alternatives to LR.

I'll be honest that it was *long ago* that I made that attempt. Plus with the new AI denoise, it seemed even harder to move away from it.

But, if there's a battle-tested, mature UI, I'm up for giving it a shot. I have done no video editing, so no clue how my experience with DaVinci Resolve is going to go. I might give Darktable another go while I'm at it. Just tend to have a bad gut feeling about it.

Some people love tinkering. I do that as my job, so I don't often have the urge to do it when I just want to get shit done.
