I couldn’t find any recent Lightroom market share studies, but judging by informal surveys at photo trade shows and elsewhere in the industry, it seems safe to say that the vast majority of photographers who shoot raw camera files use Lightroom Classic. The only problem is that, if you use PureRAW, you still must pay for another program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, though there are viable lower-cost photo workflow software options like ACDSee Photo Studio, Corel PaintShop Pro, CyberLink Photodirector, and Skylum Luminar Neo. That’s a good savings over DxO’s main photo software, PhotoLab, which costs $219 for the version with all the advanced enhancements in PureRAW, such as DeepPrime noise reduction.

It's a one-time cost for a permanent license-no subscription required. DxO PureRAW 2 costs $129, discounted to $79 for purchasers of Version 1.
