Black Friday sale on DxO softwares, pretty good savings and the best thing is it's not a subscription. You also have discounts if you're upgrading from older versions, check out in their website for more information.
I noticed this deal when I was looking for a denoise software. I bought the PureRAW 4 and pretty happy with the results, better and faster than Lightroom AI Denoise.
Note: the price is in USD not AUD.
I am considering the pure raw for denoising too. I still find it expensive even though it's not subscription. They basically have a new version every year and you can pay at discounted price to upgrade, sort of similar to subscription if you want to stay with the latest.
The adobe photography 1 year plan includes Lightroom and Photoshop, which costs less than AUD 120 when buy from Amazon.
DXO raw processing may have a slight edge, with the best in market lens profiles and maybe slightly better denoise,( hard to tell for the denoising part, as ACR raw denoising is not bad and it is constantly updating). However the photo processing part from Adobe still has no real competition. I do own affinity photo and considering adding dxo pureraw so that I can ditch adobe subscription, but that would be a downgrade for not really much saving I'm afraid.
Using the newer Luminar Neo and love it ..run the VPN in a few countries to get the best deal.
