What a coincidence, I was looking at the same thing today. I kept seeing recommendations for Affinity Photo, apparently it has a wide range of features for both Windows and macOS users. It's got PSD file support, RAW support, masking, layering, retouching, blemish removal, curving, and a comprehensive set of 16-bit filters.

It's around $50 I think but you own the license forever.

EDIT : I just noticed that this is the Open Source community so I just wanted to mention that Affinity is clearly not that.

I'll vouch for Affinity. Runs pretty well in Wine, too.

what? since when?

last time i checked getting it to run with wine was a major hassle next to impossible.

Well, Bottles anyway, and Affinity Photo v1.10.6.1665.

Here's the custom recipe I use (with caffe-8.21): https://privatebin.net/?5f0ccc4d96c9f386#8MRRLF6WkZ8zjPWDFucuwsiCGSg9mdSVwcF3YqfqFarU

Some minor rendering issues, but perfectly usable.

They are absolute garbage with wine. I think the only version that worked was the very first release.
