I've been testing most of these out (except for Aperature) for the last week and I'm really heartbroken on picking one, as they're ALL amazing in their own respects. So I've decided to ask the community on what you guys use, to help me make my final decision. I mainly shoot in RAW, but will most likely be switching back to JPG as the editing process barely changes between the two formats with these formats.

Oops, completely left out DDP, oh well. My main focus is on paid applications, so it doesn't hurt not having it in the list.

I don't have the $$$ to use everything on the list.
I used to use DPP for everything but I do prefer ACR.

I don't have C1 Pro, just C1, but I voted for it anyway.

Capture One Pro, so fast, great noise reduction and lens correction. Side by side with output from DPP, it produces better colours and sharper images (with sharpness off in both applications). Its noise reduction works without softening the image, DPP is terrible in comparison for noise reduction.
