You’re welcome. DXO is not on sale at present so probably not that attractive. They usually have a sale prior to a next release and then another at Black Friday. There may be other times.
The advantage of subscription is you can use on multiple platforms as the license is monitored by you logging in. It gets a bit complicated if you try and use say your Lightroom on a work PC under your personal profile which is already logged in under a work profile to use say work’s Acrobat. Lightroom 6 does allow two platforms provided you use only one at a time, (you still sign in when changing platforms but only to the application; no need to have creative cloud loaded) . Lightroom 6 is not part of creative cloud but will show in creative cloud if it is installed. (It confuses me no end!). DXO can also be on multiple platforms (Three I think for the Elite version) but I think Affinity is one only and the one you registered it with.
If Adobe Photoshop Elements allowed full 16 bit editing with all tools available I would probably just use it. I’ve stopped upgrading it since version 14 since the spot healing brush and a few other tools only work with 8 bit images with Elements.
