Following discussions here about Lightroom/Photoshop Elements/Photoshop etc and a suggestion from Bob W that obtaining books on the subject would help, I acquired the following two a couple of weeks back:
Photoshop Elements 13, the missing manual by Barbara Brundage The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 book for digital photographers by Scott Kelby Both of these books have already been very helpful, and I no longer have the doubts that previously surrounded the whole aspect of the digital darkroom. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how much graphic design is now included in Elements, and whilst I have no current use for most of it, I thought at some point I might have to buy a more complete package to get it. Not so. I actually like having books I can read at my leisure away from a computer screen. I'm happy at the moment to stay with fully paid for software. Following many of the postings here, I no longer have misconceptions about subscription software, particularly around the 'cloud'. I wouldn't be surprised at some stage if the programmes I now have become part of a subscription package, so should I wish to upgrade in later years, at least I will look at the options next time with an open mind.
