[QUOTE="EddceLLent, post: 482782, member: 27342"] Hey, So I got my first DSLR about a year and a half ago, at which point I was completely new to photography. Since then I feel like I've come a long way in terms of the kinds of shots I've been getting and the techniques I've been able to learn. I've got a good idea of what kind of things I want to focus on shooting and the sort of kit that I'm going to look to buy in the future. One thing that I haven't really thought much about though is editing or storing my images - basically I use a Mac and so whatever photos I take will just be uploaded to "Photos" (previously iPhoto). I don't mind Photos for Mac in that it's quite user friendly and offers some basic editing options like cropping, tilting, colour/brightness boost/reduction etc but what annoys me is: 1.) I don't like how there isn't just some straight-up folder that is easy to find where I can see my photos and open them up in whatever application I want without having to use Photos. 2.) Whenever I edit a photo and try to upload it from Photos to Facebook it will only ever show me the original - the only way I can get the edited one is to open it full screen, take a screenshot to my desktop and then upload it from that - which I worry will result in a deterioration in the quality of the photo. Does anyone know how I can overcome the above issues? Or am I just kidding myself by still using this program when I need to be getting something else - if so then sell it to me so I can convince myself that it's worthwhile :) Cheers for any help people can give.
