[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 364395, member: 12542"] It complicated for the beginner. If he/she can get to class at a local Photography club or like our computer club it really helps when someone guide them. Okay here is an image that I open the RAW file with Iridient RAW software (similar to Camera RAW but with other bells and whistles) which I can just upgrade when I upgrade my camera. I can use "lcp" profiles if I choose. When I was done I open in Pixelmator making layers and adjustments and exported as a TIFF not wanting to use Adobe PSD format. So far no Adobe. After I closed Pixelmator I navigated to the tiff file and open in Perfect Photo Suite and used a preset they had for landscapes. I saved it as TIFF with layers intact. I then exported to a JPG but used 50% to keep the file small for here. Phew I was slow compared to my normal Camera Raw + Photoshop CS5 + Perfect Photo Suite only to show another way of doing it. Just before sunrise. So just an example of not breaking the bank and finding software that will meet your needs. Nothing wrong with Adobe but there are alternatives out there if one chooses.
