LR4 and CS6 (sometimes). The dynamic duo!

[Gump85]

Currently using NX 2 and fhotoroom. Planning to pick up Lightroom 5. I own CS3 but the new D600 requires DNG conversion which is another step when shooting in Raw, Not an issue if Jpeg format is used but  I shoot strictly raw

[burdadi]

im using both PSCC and LR5 and its depends what kind of photo i need to process!!!

[JIMMYMACK]

I use Photoshop CS5. People use lightroom and I think I might check it out when it comes time to upgrade.

[eldonphotography]

1. Light room easy to use and will batch process photos easily.

Adobe CC is the my current software. the tools and options just keep coming and coming.

[Paul Murphy]

Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. Nik and Topaz plugins also.

[Adamwesleyo]

I usually go CR to Photoshop, Nik Tools or Topaz for any effects.

[Colin Green]

Capture One 7 and NX2 with Perfect Photo Suite

[Bart]

DxO Optics with Filmpack and Viewpoint.

LR with Nik plug-ins.

I guess I'm the odd man out. I use ACDSee Pro6. It does what I want & I've actually learned to use it. Installed LR5 a week ago & am having a time coming to terms with it. It looks like a powerful program & if I can learn to use it effectively all will be happy in my corner of the world.

 

I also use DXO FilmPack3 & Snapspeed.

 

Be prepared for my dumb questions about LR.

If like me, you have just spent all of your cash on your camera, then ViewNX is OK. Or you can try some of the freebies.

 

If I want to do some quick editing (again very basic) then Picasa is quite good, also I have found an open source program called RawTherapee which has a lot of tools for getting the most out of your raw images.

Do watch the Adobe videos they are very helpful or  were on LR 2 (thats how long i've used lightroom)

[Thumper]

Lightroom and Photoshop here.

Working my way through them. I'm a slow learner so I'll be watching them over & over.

I currently use LR5 and PS elements11. Still in the learning phase of both as I'm just starting to get into photography. So far both seem to be really good for $100-150 a pop.

[IanB]

Elements 11 here.  Finding it very good for what i need, but, what would lightroom do for me that Elements can't, that is the question...............

[Richard Poulin]

I use GIMP (GIMP + add-ons/plug-ins/scripts can possibly do anything that is possible to do on editing photos), Topaz+GIMP and Capture NX2 (formidable control points).

[scoobymax]

Ditto, was going to ask the same question! My PC is running dual boot so if I'm running in Linux I will use gimp and in windows I'll use PS CS6, it depends what I'm doing at the same time! But it's photoshop all the way for photo manipulation such as my profile pic (left!).

[ansel95]

The new offer for existing Photoshop users finally makes CC a reasonable offering.  $10 for Photoshop and lightroom.  Still more than I used to pay when I only upgraded a couple of time but sure beats the base price for Photoshop CC.

[Afterimage]

I uses Photoshop CS6 with a host of plugins. My favorite being OnOne's Prefect Photo Suite.
