I started out with PhotoImpact Pro 10. But I've found myself using Elements 4 about 99% of the time.

ACDSee for viewing
PSP 7 for editing

I have one of the dumbest photo editors ever, its called Mr.Photo Gold. Got it with one of my old cameras. Im saving up for a Photoshop, anyone suggest their favorites?

IrfanView for image browsing, EXIF extraction, straight resizing of "unedited originals" for posting.

Photoshop 5.0 (yes, about 10 years old now) for most image editing. I occasionally use PS CS2 at work if I have to do some significant upsampling (enlarging).

CAMEDIA Master 2.0 (came with my Olympus camers) for printing proof sheets (usually to a PDF file).

I very occasionally use the Fuji FinePix Viewer (came with another camera) mostly for this cool detail view, where you get spreadsheet-like info for a folder of images -- useful for tracking inventory of stock and print images ...



I do all my copying of files and naming of folders by hand, using only the OS (either Windows 2000 or Mac OS 9).

Adobe PS CS2 - final editing (if needed, most editing done in Lightroom)
Adobe PS Lightroom - RAW conversion, photo organization, printing, web galleries
Adobe Premier Elements for slideshows/video editing - beats Pinnacle Studio 9 hands down (IMO anyway)

Thanks!

PS CS2 always
picasa(free) use it heaps as an organiser and to do quick improvements to see how a shot might look and judge whether to invest time in it.
flaming pear flood haven't used it much, just for fun
virtual photographer which I muck around with occaisonally too and I was having a look at panos fx, some freebies on site which look interesting, haven't tried any though.
Capture One for raw conversion occasionally which I think I have lost due to a reformatting of the C drive. I must download it again.

* Irfanview for viewing and browsing (wouldn't have a PC without it)

* Adobe Photoshop CS2 for all my editiing.

* Power Retouche plug-in for Photoshop (should be an integral part of PS imo and wouldn't be without it)

* Virtual Photographer suite of filters.

* Photomatix for HDR and Tone-Mapping images.

* Numerous filters, effects and actions from Action Central

Photomatix Pro
Photoshop CS2
Adobe Lightroom (excellent software for RAW)

Sometimes I use Aperture on my G5 but find it a bit slow against the new LIGHTROOM..

Noise Ninja
Neat image
Raw shooter pro

Lightroom totally ROCKS! then I got into CS2 for advanced editing if needed.

:)

It seems like I use a little utility called "Recycle Bin" the most.
03/27/2007 12:53:25 PM · #40
CS2, Bridge and iPhoto (for slideshows, books, prints, burning and archiving/organizing).

I'd like to use Aperture, but I'm doing all my editing on an eMac (CRT monitor). Aperture needs more RAM than it can provide.

iPhoto-organizing, slide shows etc.
CS2-all processing, except straightening (I like doing this with iPhoto better)

want to check out Lightroom too...

Have to agree with that. Lately I've been doing almost all my editing in lightroom with only short sojourns into CS2 if necessary.

- Microsoft Windows Explorer for file browsing & organization
- Canon Zoombrowser for RAW conversion

Neat Image
PS CS2 :-)

I'm going to break with the crowd here and declare something many of you have darkly wanted to confess but felt too afraid: Adobe products are RUBBISH! Not 100% without redeeming features, but in terms of user interface, i find PS full of absurd inconveniences (not as bad as inDesign, which i have to use for the newspaper though).

I use on a daily basis Corel Photopaint (from the Corel 11 suite), which is not at all dissimilar but far far nicer to use :) I'm frankly amazed that i don't see more people here using it...

iView for importing/filemanagement
PS CS2 & CS3 Beta for all else

I keep it pretty simple
04/11/2007 10:06:19 AM · #48
Aperture 1.5.2 for importing and managing. Fast, effcient on a MacBook Pro w/ 2GB SDRAM.
PS CS2 for external image editing as needed.
04/11/2007 10:15:21 AM · #49
I use iPhoto for import and Bridge/CS2 for the rest.
04/11/2007 10:30:02 AM · #50
I started out on Ulead Photo Impact 4 I know have 10. Also started doing some editing with Paint.NET and then starte dlearning photoshop 7.

After I got Photoshop CS2, thats all i really use now because its all I really need.
