Thank you both for your suggestions. I am somewhat pleased with using Lightroom, but not keen on a subscription approach and at present have the fixed version on my Mac. Capture one sounds like a really good alternative but the $299 US is a distraction. Being in Canada and our $ is low this brings it to about $380. Presently I think I will download and try the system and evaluate my thoughts. I see that some times Capture One as been offered at substantial discounts ... so will keep my eyes open.
Both your thoughts are appreciated. I must say, Alexander, your review has also helped me and watched one of your videos. All this and a bit of patience will help me with the learning curve.
Thanks
Martin
