BeFunky
Photo editing and collages in a browser
BeFunky covers retouching, collages and simple graphic design in one browser tab, with the batch tools that make a hundred product shots survivable. It is aimed at people who want an edit finished rather than at people who want layers. Exports work on the free plan, which is rarer than it sounds in this category.

DxO PhotoLab
Raw processing bought once, not rented
DxO PhotoLab is a raw converter with a reputation built on two things: noise reduction that recovers frames other software gives up on, and optical corrections measured from the actual lens rather than estimated. It is sold as a licence you own, which is why it keeps turning up in conversations about leaving Adobe. The library side is thinner than Lightroom's, and anybody whose workflow depends on catalogues should test that first.
