Exactly! Thank you. This is what I just mentioned in my reply to these 3. I am gathering information on what others think. It is literally the best way to collect information. Obviously, everyone ...

But this is assuming they all give advice about a different one..None of them agree with another that one is good or that they like it. You can easily get a general consensus, which is pretty much ...

Yes, and no matter what I say most don't listen as most keep pointing me to adobe

Actually, most of you agree that Adobe is the way to go...

Dude, we get it...You don't like Luminar or anything they put out.

Everytime I watch a tutorial it's on a Mac...

So you are saying DxO is pretty good? I'll check them out

Exactly my point. This is why I've been asking you professionals...lol I mean, hell if I know what I need. If I can get enough people to agree on one thing then I can get somewhere. Oh well. I'll ...

Oh yea, I think I read something about photoshop elements. I need to go back and look at it again. I just realized my sister like photography as well. She is better with people and portraits where ...

I already have it. Yes, it is great for the basics, but I'm not looking for something free and want something a little better as far as options. Which also has me thinking about Capture One 21

I'm not an apple user. Seems like the whole world is, and probably what turns me off with them. I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon

I downloaded Capture One 20 express and so far I like the main features and have been editing RAW so far, and they convert for me so it works. It's just that I want a little more control how and ...

Yes, no one looking at my photos will be doing so after paying me so RAW editor is all I anticipate needing. I obviously wouldn't even know what to do with a pixel editor. Sounds a little overkill?

I can see this being an issue for professional photographers that do this for a living, but I wonder how this is as important to someone like me who doesn't make a dime doing this

You might be on to something. I'll take a look

Thanks, I will go ahead and look into them!

I bought the camera used so nothing came with it. If Skylum is so bad, what do you use?

Hey guys, I need some help with this since it is throwing me in every direction and I can't decide. Luminar caught my eye with some of the easy options they can offer a beginner. I was thinking ...

Yes, I have the Sony version, and right now RAW is what I am taking. Now that I have been able to navigate through the basic stuff, I am liking it more. My biggest draw to the Luminar software is ...
