Corel AfterShot Pro (ex Bibble 5) review @ Photoreview.au
"Corel says its AfterShot Pro XMP files are slightly different from those of its rivals so they can't be over-written by - or over-write - settings applied in other applications. Users can also create standard XMP files that other applications will read.
Most editing tools are available as slider controls in the Standard section of the tools panel, although some are in basic form. Like rival applications, AfterShot Pro provides adjustments for colours, light, shadows, tonality, sharpening, noise reduction as well as corrections for vignetting and lens-specific aberrations. Within their limitations, they appeared to work reasonably well.Some editing tools can only be applied to raw files. Among them are highlight recovery, the Temp and Tint sliders for Custom White Balance, the white balance presets (Sunny, Cloudy, etc.) and Noise Ninja adjustments (only Auto Profile is available for other file types).Selective editing tools are limited when compared with those available in a dedicated image editor like Photoshop Elements or GIMP. AfterShot Pro includes tools for creating adjustment layers and regions, the latter covering a small section of an image. Layers can be added, deleted, duplicated, inverted and rename via the tools provided in the Layers panel."Links:(Maybe) Related articles

If you find yourself repeatedly performing the same (often mindless) tasks in Photoshop one step at a time, I'm going to show you a better way to work.
