Jostein, I just have to say it: the best advanced editor available is Photoshop.
After recent Mac OS X updates started to erode my CS5 enough to be troublesome, I finally gave in and subscribed to CC. It has been, for me, worthwhile. Lightroom integrates better with Ps, both are speedier, and Ps has seen some feature additions that are extremely useful and powerful for me. Time saved in retouching; more convincing and accurate editing -- especially in the area of selections -- and much better handling of huge 645Z files, for example. The Content Aware healing brush is magical. I was one of the last holdouts. My copy of CS5 and my old Lightroom owed me nothing. I strongly dislike the subscription model still, but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face. Being a self-righteous dogmatic curmudgeon has its downsides.
