Photo SoftwarePhoto Software is to digital photography what the darkroom was to film photography. If Ansel Adams were photographing today, he would have a giant HD monitor and a powerful computer to perform all of the post-production enhancements that he used to do in the darkroom.From workflow software to streamline the camera-to-computer flow of your images, to photo-editing software that you can use to tune-up your images and make them really stand out, there's a wide range of products at various price points available to you. Whether you're using a PC or Mac, desk-top or lap-top, have a big budget or are operating on a shoestring, there are software options that will meet your needs. On each of the following pages, I review the available products to help you with
workflow,
photo-editing,
RAW processing,
and
HDR imaging.
There are many free products available, but as is often the case, you'll probably be happier if you spend a few dollars to get something that is easy to use and has the power you need to make your photography the best it can be.
