[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 382465, member: 14443"] theres always gimp. wow, thats cumbersome to use. [url=http://www.gimp.org/]GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program[/url] seems very slow to load. elements, picassa, nikon NXD/NX2 are great starting software. I dont think one software will satisfy a veterans needs fully. it will always be 2-3 apps that will do it all. for beginners who want simple adjustments these will suffice till theyre hungrier. PS is at the top of the list. it can do anything, and you could probably get to your final image adjustment in more than one ways. fine tune to your hearts content. tons of free plugins, actions, brushes, whatever u want. LR is great for fast workflow and from version to version its pushed with more and more PS features over the years. its a very complete app. but it comes at a cost of speed. speed not how many pictures I can do in an hour but its heavy and bloated for its own good. it used to be light and lightning quick. less today and u need a pretty decent computer to get it to fly. especially with batch adjustments. for basic (exposure/color/composition adjustments) fast editing of vacation pictures/family events and such and quick things, acdsee pro will do that. thumbnails dont even load. theyre simply there. viewing from pic to pic is instant. editing and adjusting is instant. I can edit 2000 pictures in 4.5 hours. not tons of menus to navigate through. it has heavier tools but LR is better suited to the veteran photog who really needs much more complex editing. theres a lot to learn there like PS. but PS.. much more so. MUCH MORE. picassa. simple, intuitive for the hobbyist. not much fine control or tweaking. but it has its use. [/QUOTE]
