You might want to take a look at RawTherapee. I haven't used it in quite a while, but it seemed quite capable as a Raw Converter/Image Editor not all the bells and whistles of Photoshop, but more capable than a straight raw converter. I chucked it basically because it developed issues with

Windows 10 is a F** ABOMINATION! 39 hours for the first installation attempt that failed because the installer can't detect the correct CPU and tried to install an AMD 64 version on a system with an Intel i7 CPU. 37 hours for the second installation attempt that although it finally got
