Hi Kyle,
Coming from a digitization perspective (and previous production environments) two programs I've had success with have been Capture One and Photo Mechanic, but I find I always go back to Photoshop for certain tasks (such as stitching, digitally restoring or focus stacking), although I've tried alternatives for that work, I find Photoshop my favorite for more detailed or complex post processing.
I hope that is helpful!

Subject: Post processing programing thoughts and suggestions
Hello all,
Currently, the standard post processing programming of Bridge/Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop has been a lovely addition to conservation documentation. I was curious if there have been any changes or suggestions that could be made as alternatives. Whether it becomes camera dependent or not, with new technology and programing changing everyday what would be something worth looking into away from the adobe cloud that some of you have had success with. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
