I own DxO Optics Pro Elite, generally for batch processing stuff. It s convenient fo rthat, but I do find I uese it less and less each year, basically because I have my in-camera settings for jpegs sorted out, and that'll do an adequate job for having pictures available instantly.
As Arv mentions, the Elite version covers more cameras, essentially it includes semi-pro and pro cameras, whereas the standard one only covers (serious) amateur cameras. These are covered by Elite as well.
Anyway, for anything else, i.e., non-batch processing, I use Photoshop and a bunch of add-ins (specifically, Nik Software and Topazlabs plugins). These allow me to work more or less I used to do in the chemical darkroom, which works well for me, at least, for those special photographs which I process from RAW (I shoot both jpg and RAW).
HTH, kind regards, Wim
