[QUOTE="Carroll, post: 364711, member: 9246"] Everyone that wanted to make some changes to a photo has been where the OP is/was. He has evidently chosen to use a particular PP Software program, and will now embark on a fun and useful journey. I am sure everyone wishes him great success... One consideration not thought about in detail is your "time". Time in learning how to use the software. Time it takes to accomplish what you want to achieve. Time spent. Money spent can be replaced. Time spent is gone forever. I have spent a lot of my time using a *lot* of different PP software. Not all...but enough. Yes, it was interesting, and yes, I learned from the different approaches to fine tuning photos. Still learning, and do not claim to be very good at any one thing yet. :p All the hours and hours I spent on this program or that program were at the same time exciting and frustrating...I am sure most can relate. I wish now that I would have browsed the user Gallery for the Photographer's Photo's that I like and admire the most...(in their Gallery, you can usually see what PP software they use). I know now that the majority of the Photographer's work that I like the most use Photoshop and/or Lightroom. I could have started spending my time with them...books, on-line tutorials, and general info online is amazing. Those two progams are what I finally figured out is the best for me, and fastest to achieve what I want. If I would have started with PS and LR, I would be much better now. My time spent was mostly wasted on other products that claimed to be as good as, or similar to Photoshop. I regret that now. (9.99 a month for the PS/LR is a bargain...compare that to your total investment for equipment) Don't respond to this post, as if I am "slamming" your non-Adobe software. I am not. I have been there, done that. I understand. It is a big, wide, world, and I am only to happy to argue in "your favor" to choose to use and buy whatever you want. This, after all, is only my opinion.
