What processing software do you all use?

mithrandir · 01-23-2010, 10:29 AM

Adobe Lightroom v2.6
Mediachoice Dynamic Photo HDR v4.6
Paint.Net

These three work for me in 99.99% of the cases.

Thank you for your input.

I dont think Mediachoice Dynamic Photo supports Pentax k-x.

GerryL · 01-23-2010, 01:18 PM

Adobe Photoshop CS3.
They can do a lot if you know their capabilities and the ins and outs of it.
Serves me well.

Lightbox Free for those quick and non-complicated processing.
Did I mention "FREE"? That in itself is the magic word.

DxO Labs Pro v6 (Slow but magic with my DA lenses)
Lightroom v2.6 (The workhorse)
Photoshop Elements 6 (When I need layers)
Focus Magic v3.02 (camera motion blur and focus blur correction)
The Panorama Factory v5 (for the rare panoramas I do)
Photomatix Basic 1.2.1 (HDR)

It supports PEF and DNG files from my K10D. Should at least support DNG files. I also use it with TIF files converted from DNG with no trouble.

ACR 4 and PS CS3.
Offers much more than what I use them for...

I've been a Paint Shop Pro user since it was shareware, so PSPP X2 with Focus Magic, Topaz Denoise, and ColorWasher 2 as the main plugins. I've tried to like the various Photoshop versions, and have really given the demo versions workouts up to CS2, but have always found the UI of PSP much more intuitive and faster for me. I don't necessarily like some of the changes since Corel took over from JASC, but I've adapted, and some of the additions like the integrated HDR processor have been very helpful.

I'm an Aperture guy... It does the things I want - I haven't really felt the need for anything else.

pakuchn · 01-23-2010, 03:08 PM

I used to use PaintShop Pro, but it does not support K-x RAW files.

Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate and Corel Digital Studio Camera Raw file support

How is that SilkPix?

Deiberson · 01-23-2010, 07:29 PM

i'm a little interested in this thread.. i have a mac and a pc and want to get some post processing software. wasn't sure if i should be leaning towards aperture or ps cs3. i'm guessing for my basic skills, either would do but i love the mac.

Well, I have a PC and I used to use Nikon Capture NX and it was GREAT!!
Now, I'm looking for something that is "like" capture NX.
