Editing "software" ?

I agree that the CS suite is $$$$$$ :eek:

But Lightroom is currently an absolute bargain, $110.00 for the FULL version Buy Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 for Windows & MAC (65149881) for just $110.00 Save $26.40!

With LR4 in the pipeline, now looks like a great time to buy LR3.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks - just bought a copy. That's quite a saving.....:D

If you or your child has a school ID you can go here and buy CS5.5 for $179 ( Which is what I did) or CS5.5 + LR3 for $280.

I'll have to go back to school - that's an amazing saving, wish I was eligible..
:(

Congrats on the purchase oldsalt.

If you have never used LR before, it may take you a bit of time to get your head around how it works. There are tons of fantastic web based support sites.

This is a great place to start Home | The Lightroom Queen

But also checkout youtube for vids.

If you run into any problems feel free to drop me a line.

Cheers

I am My daughter is - she's at university.........

I just need to find the cheapest course to sign up to and then I can buy CS5 for pocket-money .... :p

Aperture, Nik Software plugins, Photoshop CS5, Capture NX2.

On a Mac either Aperture or Lightroom are good. On a PC, I'd be seriously looking at Lightroom. I really only use Photoshop nowadays when I need to use layers or have more brush control. Capture NX2 is the best for when you want to tweak a NEF file but again I tend not to use it as much nowadays.

I bet you know someone who is in school.. or employed by a school or university.. (it doesn't matter what job they do it all counts).. :)

And I use CS5 and on occasion Paint shop pro (which is a decent program and cheap enough).. :)

Thanks Sue, but I'm assuming that it would all be tied to the name of the person who bought it, and that wouldn't match with my computer I.D.
I just wish they made a "cheaper" version - I'd gladly pay $300 or so but the recommended "retail" is ridiculous !!!!
Ah well I'll start learning LightRoom 3 tomorrow - and if I ever sign up for a uni course or somesuch I'll buy myself CS5.....
cheers :)
