try Lightroom
Thanks, Bob. Curious -- how does it differ from Elements?
Hi Eric: I started with Elements, then soon tried Lightroom, and I've never
wanted to use Elements again. I find Lightroom's photo management
excellent, and I use Lightroom to upload to my web site for my PESOs and
GESOs, and I'm going to use it for my online portfolio as well (I actually
worked on that a bit today). It's soooo easy to do this once you have a web
site. I HATE Elements' organizer for it's management stuff. Can't stand
it. Clunky for me to use. Also, I really don't want to spend a lot of time
with Photoshop layers and such. I want to try to take good pictures
in-camera, so I have shorter post-process time. Because I can't do overly
obsessive localized editing, I know I have to do good camera work to get an
acceptable shot. Easier said than done to be sure, but I try. Anyway, using
Lightroom helps me in this goal. Though you can do quite a bit of
post-processing with Lightroom, and I checked out Lightroom 3 today, and
wow, I want it, but I don't have 2 gigs of RAM or service pack 3. (Just had
a conversation with hubby over dinner about the possibility of a new
computer.) If you can, you should download a free trial of Lightroom 3.
I'm pretty darn sure you'll like it. Cheers, Christine
