Photography Editing Software Reviews
Digital Photography: Photo Editing?
I am an amateur photographer and am now looking into photo editing, and I just have questions, some of which hopefully you can help me with. Many people are telling me to get Adobe Elements because there is no major difference between that and Adobe Photoshop CS3. But i was also looking into Adobe Lightroom which also looked helpful but what I read seemed like with Lightroom, you need CS3. And then there’s Apature. What’s a good software? I want to get something good without paying an arm and a leg. I have no idea what to do. I’ve been watching videos, reading reviews, looking through tutorials and asking friends, yet I still have no clue. Can someone please aid an upcoming professional-yet-serious photographer with useful advice?
Adobe Elements – $100
Adobe Photoshop CS3- $650
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom- $300
Apature 2- $200
PS: I’m on a Mac
I have a Nikon D60 & Nikon D40x
Thank you 
If you want to explore the world of Adobe Photoshop without spending the big money for the full product, get Photoshop Elements. It is a tremendously powerful program and it only sells for $99.00. You can get it at http://www.adobe.com or any of the usual places you buy software. I am still using Photoshop Elements 5.0, but PE 6.0 is now out and Adobe claims that it has enhanced Brightness/Contrast tools, Clone tool and Black and White Conversion tool. The other enhancements seem to deal with merging photos (panoramic stitching) and organizing your photos.
You can use it practically right out of the box with the “Quick Fix” option and then you can advance into the full program, learning TONS about the Photoshop world as you go. Frankly, I think most casual users would never explore the full capabilities of Photoshop Elements. If you are ever ready for more, you will already know much of what you need to know about using “real” Photoshop.
Just go here http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/ and click “Free Trial” for a 30-day free trial.
Almost every single image on my Flickr site was processed with Photoshop Elements 5.0. Some have from zero to barely any post-processing at all and others have considerable amount of perspective alterations, saturation changes, etc., and these are specified under the picture most of the time.

Check out this question. Look at the image linked in the question. There is not a lot the photographer could have done at the scene to make it better. I mean, when the sun sets – there are shadows. Then look at the “after” version in my answer. This is not a “great” job, but it shows that Photoshop Elements is not just a toy.
