Welcome to the leeward side of the slippery slope of life! It is crowded, but if you find a quiet spot behind a big rock, you can avoid being swept by the current into the big black lagoon of missed opportunities. As far as software goes, Lightroom is top drawer, designed by photographers who built software to benefit their own photographic endeavors, not simply to fulfill a contract from a camera manufacturer, or sell post-processing software because someone told them there was a market for it. The best part is that whatever you learn to do in Lightroom will make your craft better with no more effort than what you spent before. As long as you were enjoying more than one beer a week before, your sacrifice won't make the rest of your life miserable.
