Thank you for that very useful information. I am not great in PP. I use lightroom to give a bit more snap to the pictures, highlight shadows mostly.

I never used Photoshop I would not know where to start.....

Many people don't edit their images at all - and for this reason they may wish to use stronger settings than I do.  With more contrast and lighter exposures than I do.

I generally use Photoshop to add a final tweak (touchups on faces etc) or to resize an image before saving it.  Both of these things can be done in Lightroom or even other programs.  Many people don't care to retouch their images at all.  Just as it was before cameras went digital!

There's quite a few useful and impact settings in Lightroom that will certainly give your images more 'snap'.  If you are even simply using basic tweaks now and then you should be able to get some excellent results.  Here's a shot of one of my cats that I edited the other night.  I used my built-in flash on my M6 and tilted it up towards the ceiling with my finger.  I don't often use a flash but my room was dark.  What I did to edit the picture was to clone out stray hairs and dust that were stuck to her fur.  I added no sharpening.  The image looks acceptable to me although others might be tempted to enhance the image further.  The best thing about the EOS M cameras is that you can see instantly on the LCD whether or not the images are keepers.
