There are others like PhotoMechanic which are equally fast, have stronger keywording tools but are considerably more expensive (more than 10x). If I move all my selects into a folder before starting work in DxO (out of 200 images I might process between 10 and 70 depending on whether they are artistic images or an event).ДЇastRawViewer is my sorting and selects tool of choice as itвЂ™s fast, powerful and inexpensive. PhotoLab is very slow with hundreds of images from a session. What I find most effective with DxO PhotoLab for quick management of images is to make sure the folder IвЂ™m browsing only includes selects for processing. If you have a lot of images in a folder scrolling to the newest is a bit laborious. Layers are not basic editing it is image manipulation photoshop etc which not many people do.Sorting - not possible to sort descending in library. Still I wouldn't call those RAW developers 'standard photo editors'. DxO PL since version 2, lightroom, bibble, RAW therapee, u name it) - and I love'em. I've been eagerly using almost all kind of RAW developers for almost 20 years now (incl. In general for ME that is specialized in the context of BigRedNole5s question, and Affinity Photo matches that, as an overall not specialized product, way better.

There is no hard border between photo editors and RAW developers

On the other hand DxO (or most RAW developers) offers RAW specific functions like demoire, demosaicing, EXIF/IPCT support, batch development, watermarking, generic and camera/lens specific(!) distortion correction and CA removal, very sophisticated denoising, etc.

DxO offers opacity only), no simple text functions, a canvas larger than the photo itself (like one would arrange parts of graphical elements on), different export options including PDF or transparent regions in PNGs, etc. It doesn't offer layers (masks kinda try to be layers, with a reduced set of editing functionality on the masked areas), hence no layer modes (add, multiply, average, etc. Yes, DxO offers masks and all, but with the main focus on raw development. Basically eating RAW material of any brand, but generally not 'your average photo editor'. In the context of BigRedNole5s quest for a 'standard photo editor for home use' I find DxO still to be specialized.

Unfortunately the denoising of Affinity Photo is just standard - nothing to write home about or compare with Topaz or DxO Deep Prime. Affinity even offers photo stacking, panorama stitching or astronomical editing function (stacking, including bias frame workflow). The closest powerful and inexpensive solution I can think of that covers RAW development and photo good editing functions is Affinity Photo by Serif. Kinda like the comparison between Lightroom (RAW development) and Photoshop (THE photo editor). DxO basically works on JPGs also (NOT Deep Prime!), but its nothing I'd call a photo editor. Sometimes its really hard to decide which to use finally).ДxO is a dedicated RAW development software, with a best of class denoise algorithm ('Deep Prime'). Topaz focusses on sharpening and denoise (AI Denoise, AI Sharpen - both offer a reduced functionality of each other, so AI Sharpen can denoise too, and AI Denoise can sharpen too. Dxo also has optimized ways of masking/doing selective changes and a lot more things than Topaz.
