photo processing...
My life was so pre-occupied the last number of years, only now am I getting
back to photography. Perhaps Photoshop/Lightroom is still the way to go since I
have some familiarity with it. I'll never catch up to Moose-pertise or
Norton-craft ... and many others on this list.
I feel like such a photog beginner these days. Is there really anything better
than the Adobe-oligopoly?
I considered PaintShop pro with recent discounts until I found out the latest
versions lock to single PC. Since I have several computers and/or often
re-install the OS on occasion, PC failures... I didn't want to deal with the
hassle to transfer the license, etc. I read somewhere they think it is a small
percentage of their users who need that, but likely the small percentage is
because people like me don't get their software because of it.
I was investigating the FOSS approach. Although this is Linux oriented, many
programs mentioned run on Windows or OSx, but that defeats the single flow. I'm
not opposed to Linux if I can to the whole flow on one machine. So I'm thinking
Adobe is probably going to be the choice? I have no experience with the
following.
