What kind of photo editing software are you using to enhance your pictures with? And that's very user friendly.
photo_chick said:Go download some free trials. Photoshop is the industry standard, and Photoshop Elements is great entry level editing software. Lightroom is great for image management and RAW processing. And then there are other brands like Corel that many people like. But as to which one will be most user friendly for you.. you're just going to have to download some trials and play.
I use Lightroom 100% of the time. .
For my personal photography work I primarily use Lightroom, but for work Photoshop is still a must!
Does anyone else find Lightroom 4 a little sluggish at times? Ifound it to be that way at times but I also upgraded to 4 and upgraded to an 18MP, from a 12MP camera at the same time. Come to think of it I have bookmarked an article or tow on how to make Lightroom 4 more responsive. May need to look for them over the weekend.
Retyped my reply for a second time, because the DISBoards iOS app is becoming buggier by the day and crashed when I posted the original!
Same.
I am not into cloning, layers, or other trickery. Just give me the raw image and let me "develop" it like the old school guys.
It just a personal prefrence.

If it's another issue, let me know and perhaps we can find a resolution.
