It's great advantage for photo processing is the non-destructive nature of the way you change the photos, so there is no loss of image quality for each change you make. It saves you a lot of disk space too as there is no need to keep a raw and a jpeg, for example. Photoshop is now reserved for correcting the odd eyesore and the more 'special effects' type of processing - eg: layers and filters. But if the shot is mostly right in the first place then Lightroom is great.    Report

My Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac arrived this morning from an Ebay seller. Genuine, Sealed Version and no problems. A massive saving over Adobe retail price. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it. . "Growing Old is Inevitable - Growing up is Totally Optional"    Report

At the moment I use Paint shop X, but with my new camera I will be having a closer look at Gimp. This thread has given me the shove to do it! One of the advantages with haveing a raw file is that you can get rid of digital noise far easier than with a JPEG file and with disk sizes as they are now space is not really a problem. Santa gave me a nice shiny, black Canon 500D with an 18/200mm Canon lens so I want to make the most of it. John. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.

It's filling a hole in a dry stone wall up in the vine fields on the garrigue up above where we live. I love that photo! John.
