I'm simple these days. LrC, PS (which I rarely use) and Topaz sharpen AI. If Adobe ever gets a Sharpen AI module I'll stop using a Topaz. DXO definitely has Adobe beat in that area. Still using USM. I waited patiently for Adobe Denoise and when it came out I removed Photo AI, Topaz DeNoise, Topaz Gigapixel and On1 NoNoise off my system.
I wish I had the jam Phil has and it shows with his amazing work. I'm 67 and every year I'm losing a little more spark. I spent a lot of time in the dark room in the 80's following Ansel's teachings. That is a lot of years with this hobby.
