Do any of you use photoshop? Not sure it is worth the price. I do have photoshop elements 12 and use lightroom.

Here is a pic from prplhze2000 that I edited using the above.

I suck at photo editing.

I have Photoshop elements and I downloaded a trial of ACDsee Pro.

Photoshop Elements is incredibly frustrating, because you can "almost" do everything the full program has to offer. All of the How To stuff on the internet is for the full version of Photoshop.

I'd love to hear what others use

Lightroom. I have PS but don't use it usually.

And not to be a dick, but that post-processing shot looks very processed. The original's clarity isn't great, and I don't think the processing is much of an improvement.

Is it HDR? I don't think so, but it almost looks that way.

So, in conclusion, you can take a pic of anything and make it look like anything else.

Lightroom for everything unless I'm cloning.

Lightroom for RAW file manipulation of color, contrast, sharpness, etc.

Then to Photoshop if needed for re-touching shots and saving for the web.

Get Adobe creative cloud. Its 10 bucks a month and you can download any of adobe's programs. It costs less that buying PS and you get LR or any other of Adobe's soft ware. Also, when the new versions come out, you get em!

Lightroom, Photoshop CC and Photomatix for HDR photos.
You can get the photographers package of Photoshop CC and Lightroom for around. $10 a month.

I really like LR editing, but since I am on a Mac I prefer the aperture library. There are a few add-ons I play with (mostly Nik collection), but stick mostly to aperture.
