Aperture 3, Nik software suite. Used to use Photoshop CS2 until Lion came along - that was the end of that :roll eyes:
Also have Acorn for simple image stuff for when I need layers.
I use Snapseed on the iPad.

Mainly shooting motorsports lately, so I use Lightroom for bulk adjustments (WB etc) then I try to comandeer my mates pc which has photoshop on it for the ones that actually turn out well.
I've pretty much exclusively turned to Faststone. Seems to do most of what I was doing in Photoshop, only Faststone is free and I'm finding it much easier to use. Don't need to type in some dodgy password everytime I open my extended trial version of Photoshop either.
But the thing I really like about Faststone is that you can do everything you want to a photo in one sitting, close it and be done. Only being able to do certain funtions, then having to save and re-open before you could use other functions was really getting to me with Photoshop. Eg. You couldn't clone/heal after changing colours, or sharpen after amending colours etc. With Faststone you just go down the lists one by one, finish and save. Nice.
PS CS5, I love photoshop, have used it for years. I've got LR3, but I don't really know how to use it to it's full potential.. yet. I'll learn one day i'm sure!
I mainly use ACDsee and occasionaly CS5 for the parts that ACDsee does not cover as yet, for basic work I find that ACDsee is very easy to use.
Lightroom with Nik software package, supplemented by Photoshop CS5 (well, just learning the latter now).
NFI how people use PS for all their work - LR is so much faster to use!

I have several versions of ACDsee, Pro 3, ACDsee for Pentax 3.0, Photo Editor 2008 and have just obtained ACDsee14 which has several new inovations over Pro 3, don't think I will go to the latest Pro version at this time as I need to get my head around my latest aquistion.

Tend to use Lightroom 4 mostly, but Photoshop CS5 is an important part of my workflow in the later stages. I also use the Neat Image plugin and the Nik software suite within these, particularly Silver Efex which is magnificent.

I find Lightroom pretty easy to use, the workflow seems to make sense to me (actually still on Lightroom 3)
I'm new to this and find this thread Insightful. Looks like PS and Lightroom are the popular editing apps with a smattering of Aperture, ACDsee.
I'll hit YouTube and see what the walk throughs are like.
One question I'd like to pose. Once you have edited a photo to your liking what do you do with it? Print it? Set it as a wallpaper on your PC? Archive it?
No option for capture 1 or Photo mechanic?
I like C1.
Togs are what my son wears to go swimming.
...and no option for the one in iPhoto on an elderly Apple MacBook (laptop) - I cant imagine why not!
Looking to upgrade computer and learn to use editing software though, so this thread is a wealth of valuable info.
Thanks to you all for responding.

LR for the majority...specifically importing, cataloguing, basic adjustments (cropping, contrast, white balance and raw processing), then Photoshop for the other stuff that I may want to do.
The majority of the time I am able to do everything in LR.
