[QUOTE="Michigan Adam, post: 84579, member: 11316"] Hi, I am quite new to this site and my D5100. My D60's shutter is no longer operating and I made the much deliberated, thoroughly researched, decision to purchase this fine piece of equipment. It seems worlds better than my D60 and I am happy. That being said, I have revived my interest and pursuit of becoming a better photographer, thus joining this site. I have been reading here and there that a lot of the quality can come with post production. Other than the occasional tweek through picasa I have been more or less focused on taking good shots and haven't invested time or effort in post editing. I'm going to be acquiring my first software in photoshop elements 9, don't laugh I'm cheap, and I will soon begin the learning process with said software. Should I be shooting in RAW 100% of the time? What is the learning curve for shooting in RAW and editing with photoshop? I am open to any and all advice or tips including adjusting settings with the camera for shooting the best RAW photos, mostly of my children and landscapes, and beginning to work with photoshop. Please help! [/QUOTE]
