Titoist Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 What is a good photo editing and/or enhancement software that a casual photographer can or should use? I was thinking of Lightroom 4, but there are also free alternatives like Picasa, but I am unsure if I would be wasting my time with Picasa. I want it to be able to read/edit RAW images.

moloko Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Light room is good if you shoot in RAW. I would recommend ACDSee for what you want as a casual shooter. Plus it has a great database and tagging system. Picasa is great for just looking at photos but for editing jpegs I would go into ACDSEE. If you shoot raw...then LR all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted June 18, 2012 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2012 Lightroom is a very good overall and do everything app. It cost a bit more but you can't go wrong. Personally, I'm on Macs and using Aperture from Apple. These are pretty similar but Aperture only runs on Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
