What photo editing software do you use regularly?

[Doninoz]

Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 99.9% of the time for me

Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw

If there's one piece of advice I learnt is that there are so many software packages out there, just choose one and make it work for you

PS CS2 and Elements 8

[Bennymiata]

I got my copy of Lightroom 3 late last week, and have spent some time on the Adobe site learning about it.
I must say that the Adobe videos are very good and are a quick way to get started with such a complex program.
If they could make the screen shots larger, they would be even better.

I am finding that Lightroom is excellent for doing stuff to photos that can't be done otherwise, especially when the photos are in RAW.
It talks to Photoshop Elements and the results I'm getting are getting better all the time.
Lightroom also has a very good slideshow section which makes it very easy to do.

I was a bit naughty though when buying Lightroom, as I got a student to buy it for me, then givingit to me as a gift, saving many hundreds of $$$, and the price for it was even less than a full version of Elements.
Great value.

Aperture and Photoshop CS5. However, I am looking at getting a plug in for HDR processing and am evaluating several options at the moment.

Just lightroom is enough for me.

CS4 at the moment, i have tried aperture and didn't like it at all. Capture looks like a great program to use from what i have seen

[nwhc]

CS5 and lightroom for me would be keen to try out aperture and judge it against lightroom.

The Gimp and Picassa for me

[Calxoddity]

Aperture 3 and Elements 6. Oh, and Painter Essentials 4 if I'm feeling artistic. Almost everything is done in Aperture though.

CS4 did more than I needed so I removed it from the computer (I might use it again in the future).
I find Lightroom 3 is a really nice program for most things, and Elements 9 is a quick and easy program to use for the little that LR3 cant do.

Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. All you need really!

Aperture 3+Nik Software suite, PS CS5+Nik Software suite, Capture NX2

I've tried pretty much all of them, but I always come back to those I know which are Paintshop Pro and ACDSee. My problem is remembering all the commands, and as I have the memory of a TRS-80 I find my learning curve ends up as a complete circle. I'd like to use Lightroom, but I hate the way you are locked into a particular file structure and processing regime. I prefer to process photos in the directories of my choice and on an individual photo basis. ACDSee does most processing until you start needing to use layers etc - then Paintshop takes over. I may have to go to PS Elements because I'm not sure Paintshop is going to continue being upgraded by Corel.

Bob,

Send me a pm re lightroom, you can have whatever file structure you like, or even no file structure at all if you like

[DanNG]

Using aperture at the moment

that is sound advice Darren and very underestimated advice, its almost like chosing your camera brand, what works for some just does not work for others

Lightroom does 98% of what i want...
