Group: Member Posts: 3 Status:	Leading on from the interesting threads in the "Competitions" post, davidtrout makes the, in my view, correct observation that we should aim to get it as "right" as possible at the taking stage, regardless of whether it's for print or digital projection. However, we all use software for any post production we do, so I'm curious, what do members use? Is it something from the Adobe stable (Elements, Photoshop or Lightroom) or perhaps from Apple (Aperture or iPhoto), Corel's Paint Shop Pro, Serif's PhotoPlus or something else? I'm using mainly Lighroom 2 and Photoshop CS3 - but dabbling with CS4. Also does anyone want to say why they use that particular software?

Group: Member Posts: 9 Status:	Interesting question DrP. I teach digital imaging and so I have to be familiar with much of the software that people have at home. From choice I use CS4, but need to be able to demonstrate anything from Elements 4 upwards. I have looked at Lightroom but at present there isn't much demand for it. On a personal basis I don't think it offers much more than CS4 for the kind of work I do. Not enough to merit spending money on it. That brings me to an observation about software use. I have a feeling that the whole of the photographic magazine industry is promoting, no matter how inadvertantly, the use of non registered copies of the CS series. We all feel we have to have the one they advocate as 'best' and run tutorials in, but how many of their readers actualy buy the programmes?

From that I decide which images to retain. Processing is then in CS2. I'm intrigued by Lightroom. Does seem the answer for photographers processing large volumes. Both FastStone and Lightroom are being demonstrated on Wednesday at the club's digital practical session. Come along and see for yourself. Details on the Blog on this site.

Group: Member Posts: 4 Status:	When I changed my computer I couldn't transfer Photoshop CS so I bought Elements 7. I only use the raw processor and then do further work in PhotoPlus. I don't like the elements interface and there are things that the Serif can do that Elements can't. Also I would only use the edit part of Elements anyway. Again, budget is a factor and PhotoPlus is great value for money. That's why it's going into schools and colleges now. I just fitted out a classroom with 10 licences for £99.75.
