For Photography
Starting into photography, What is the best program for editing digital photos?
I have been told that Adobe Photo shop is the way to go but I really would like some input before I drop all that cash. I am looking into Portrait and nature photography. I would like to use one program only and I want to be able to do all sorts of things, for instance, adding hints of color to B&W images, changing filters etc... Any input would be helpful. If anyone has used Adobe tips would be welcomed too! Thank you so much.
I liked and used Corel Photo Paint for several years. Photo Paint is compatible with Photoshop, in that any plug-in you can buy for Photoshop is supposed to work with Corel Photo Paint.
The two programs don't work the same way -- so when you're learning one, you're not learning the other.
In my opinion, Photo Paint is easier to use, and I prefer Photo Paint's methods for selecting areas/masking.
However, there's no substitute for Photoshop. Every photo magazine you pick up has a how-to using Photoshop. There are a million books on Photoshop in your local bookstore. There are several good online tuturials for it, also. You'll ultimately end up using Photoshop one day; there's no avoiding it.
For all the things you've said you want to do -- adding color tints, adding filters, etc. -- either program will work.
