looking to get editing software.
what is everyone using?
i got a book on Photoshop elements 8.

 

extensive edits, I use photoshop cs3

for archival / metadata edits, it's either capture one or apeture

 

cs2/cs3/cs4 /depending on which of my machines i am on at any given moment.

 

Mostly Lightroom 2.5. If anything major needs to be done CS4.

 

All my photos get pumped through CS4.

 

I'm still using Photoshop CS2. I've been too lazy to come up to speed with Lightroom. Rumor has it that CS5 is due in a few months or I'd be upgrading now. Adobe has a nasty way of forcing you to upgrade for the latest ACR raw converters.

I recently picked up a Canon S90 for a pocket shooter (amazing tiny marvel, BTW!) since my ex-wife wanted my Nikon 990. While the supplied Canon conversion software works, I'd rather use ACR but... f'ing Adobe!!

 

I use Aperture....recently upgraded from 2 to 3.

 

Lightroom for color balancing and simple effects: sephia, BW, etc. Then CS4 for anything relating to alteration of the subjects of the photos heh

 

Most of my editing is done on ACR.

I'm a noob when it comes to what I can do with filters and blending on photoshop

 

An eraser and some white out.
