Pros: Supports about 150 Cameras
Cons: Too Expensive as Standalone, no option for adjusting highlights and shadows

If you tried Adobe Lightroom then then this does pretty much the same thing, think of it as it's baby brother.
It takes a little getting used to before you can start using it correctly.
It supports about 150 cameras but it's free with the Panasonic L10.
it's able to recover extra highlight detail with the exposure adjustments but it should have a button for highlights by itself like every other processing software.
it can also correct chromatic aberration and fix distortion,

SILKYPIX provides non-destructive editing of images, so your originals remain untouched and intact for years to come.

Development parameters can be organized and stored as individual preferences (Tastes) for instant recall and subsequent application to other images.

Exposure control: Take control of your image’s exposure and correct under or over exposed photos after the event, using the exposure adjustment control. This can help save photos that may previously have been deemed unrecoverable.

White balance: Since white colors are recorded differently under different light sources, you can take control of your photo’s white balance and say goodbye to irritating color casts.

Contrast: Flat or overly harsh images can be uninspiring to the eye. Take control of your image’s contrast after the event by using the contrast adjustment control and its presets to breathe life back into your photos.

Saturation: Under harsh light, dominant colours can sometimes overshadow passive colors making an image look garish, likewise flat light can make colors look muted. Take control of your image’s saturation levels and subdue colors or make them more vibrant. The choice is yours!

Lens correction: Unlike some other RAW converters, SILKYPIX provides aberration, shading and distortion correction functions as standard. So there’s no need to buy expensive plug-ins or use a separate application to remove and repair these unwanted visible errors.

Image rotation and perspective correction: SILKYPIX provides comprehensive image rotation, vertical and horizontal perspective correction functions as standard, no 3rd party add-ins required. Take control and banish those leaning buildings and crooked horizons forever!

Trimming: SILKYPIX lets you to non-destructively crop and cut your original images anyway you see fit.

Sharpening: Add precise detail sharpening to your images like you’ve never seen before using state of the art “Pure Detail” algorithms.

Outputs: Create a JPG for a document or web page, or a TIFF for subsequent creative processing in your favorite image editing software. SILKYPIX gives you full control over images size, compression and bit depth, to tailor your output according to your subsequent media needs.

Printing: SILKYPIX yields professional high quality printed output with additional facilities for image preview, output sharpening and contact sheets. So there’s no need to use 3rd party printing applications to get professional results.

SILKYPIX how can you have an editing software and not have an option for adjusting highlights and shadows
If they fix that and a little tweaking in the interface, and it will go a long way.
