CS, LR, Elements?

[memetph]

I have been using Silkypix with my Raws from Panasonic.
With the A7 , I am using currently the Data converter from Sony.
I am looking for something with more functions.I need a software to convert with the usual tools ( light, contrast, WB, sharpness, noise...) plus things like HDR ?
What should I buy ? LR , Elements ....?

Thanks for your help.

LR without a shadow of doubt

I'm a long time apple aperture user and I need to have an up to date full version of Photoshop, so I do everything with those (actually 80% aperture and 20% Photoshop).
Lightroom seems better than aperture, so that would probably be my first choice if I had to buy a single dedicated software.

Capture One. To reveal hitherto invisible detail in those shadows of doubt . . .

+1 I have just started to use Capture One for my A7 files.

LR, presets are very useful

I'm referring to VSCO ones

I would say LR. Then you can also test out the flat field plugin if you have some lenses that gives you collor shift (typical wide RF lenses).
