I would recommend DxO PhotoLab as an alternative to Lightroom: https://www.dxo.com/dxo-photolab/ https://www.dxo.com/dxo-photolab/ It's a perpetual license as opposed to a subscription. So far I have paid twice -- once for PhotoLab 1, and then once more to upgrade to PhotoLab 4 for some new features. I am still quite happy with how it's working.
