Photoshop CS2- I also have the 30 day trial for CS3 and Lightroom on my work laptop for vacation next week since I plan on shooting a lot.

 

[DebºoºS]

Adobe Elements, Corel Paint Shop, Microsoft Picture It is the one I use the most.

 

[DueyDooDah]

Elements 4 and Canon software, which I use only for d/l. It makes file organization very easy. I also like the Digital Photo software that comes with Canon. The interface is nice and intuative, but don't use it much - yet.

i'm trying out "other"... helicon filter which so far i like ok but don't see any catalog thing and am not even sure i am saving what i do( i'm living on air head time )..i think i like the newest camera raw a little better than i like canon digital photopro . can't say as yet i'm wild about any i use, all have some quirk, i'd like elements except i have problems with the catalog constantly.i have gimp but only tried it a few times...since i don't have a camera for a while i ought to spend that time messing with them and see what i really want to use. i don't think i can reload lightroom since i loaded the trial pre release but i did load the cs3 trial but haven't gotten to it yet and know i would not spend $600+ for it( that's my wide angle lens money)well till i get some more "hardware" first

I use PhotoShop Elements 4 for croping and heavy editing. Microsoft Picture IT! for light editing and printing (mostly because PSE4 is so big it takes a while to startup and I also find it easier to get images printed using Picture IT! the printer doesn't seem to do as well with PSE4) and also the software that came with my D50. I'll use that sometimes for light editing (mostly sharpeneing if I need it).

Apple's Aperture and Adobe's CS3 for me. Although, I mainly use just Aperture.

I spent a bit of time yesterday finally playing with Lightroom, now that I've done some self-training on it. Man! I am definitely sold on the product.

It's not perfect, but it's much better than anything else I've tried, especially for the important-but-usually-overlooked keywording via XML/IPTC.

I still need to figure out how to develop multiple photos at once - I'm sure it can be done, I just haven't gotten that far into the training stuff.

I went through my latest ~190 photos or so with it, and was definitely able to get more keepers due to it being easy to make little corrections. I think I'll probably end up using it on my older JPGs, too.

Mainly Lightroom here and CS2 once in a while. I used to use Bibble but have not touched it since I got Lightroom.

Photoshop? bah.

Real men use hex editors. You must be able to vizualize the photo from the numbers.

 

[Disneynut322]

I use Microsoft Digital Image Suite 9. I really like it!

Real girlie men use hex editors. Real manly men work strictly in binary. And they don't use editors, they use really small magnets.

Photoshop CS2

just downloaded CS3, can't wait to try it out.

I'm usually an early adopter, but I haven't bothered with CS3 yet. I'd like to hear someone give me a compelling reason to drop the extra $200 on the upgrade.

To me it just feels a bit faster when running on VISTA with 2gb of ram compared to CS2, but YMMV. I know for sure that it starts up much quiker...

It does not cost $200 to use the 30 day trial(available @ ADOBE dotcom).

 

[photo_chick]

I won't be looking at CS3 until they upgrade at DH's work. Once he is using it there then we will buy it for home.

I use the Canon Digital Photo Professional (comes with the camera and is used for viewing and onverting RAW) and now, occassionally, Paint Shop Pro. I am finding I can do most of what I need in DPP, though PSP can do some very neat things.
