[QUOTE="J-see, post: 364318, member: 31330"] I've tried plenty of alternatives before I bought LR. The sad truth is that once you have used PS, any alternative simply feels lacking. PS simply is exemplary when it comes to digital manipulation and everything else gives the feeling trying to be PS but not really succeeding. For basic manipulation of photos PS might be over the top. I used ViewNX2 first and although it gave me some options, it felt crude. I wasn't really impressed by it. I decided to buy LR since Adobe simply specializes in this sort of stuff. I didn't like it much at first but the more time goes by, the more I enjoy it. I rarely use PS for anything else but sharpening these days, about everything else I need, LR provides. You can still buy it instead of PPM which is a bonus too. Alternatives will always be that; alternatives. A cheaper solution in some cases but mostly a temporary one. You'll always want the real deal in the end. [/QUOTE]
