Can't get the background color correct.

Uh. Apple is ending support for Aperture and iPhoto soon.

That sucks. Are they coming out with a new program?

Not that I have heard. See Adobe CC. There is the plan for photographers for $9.99 a month.

I should probably start a new thread, but since it was brought up. Should I get Photoshop CC or Lightroom 5. Never used any program another then iPhoto.

If I'm not mistaken the Photography package of CC comes with Ps and Lr.

Thanks Pejacre. I think I'll get Aperture when I get the Mac Pro. That why I have more options for editing.

CameraClicker: Yeah I have that L lens. I picked it up for $740. I guess the person purchased a 5D and sold the lens separate. I saw online that the price for the lens was a little over $1000, so I thought it was a good deal. I hope I was right. I reason I ask is because I got the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens last year and the quality appears similar. I sure it's me not using the L lens to its potential, but I just wanted to know if it was the camera. The first 2 photos is the EF 70-300mm and the second 2 are the L lens 24-105mm. The last photo is here for you guys to critique and give any tips.

In 2006, I purchased what the invoice says was a 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 USM II/III lens. I took a couple of photos and determined everything was very soft. I took it back and the guy at the store said it was a Red Box lens and he could give me another, but I would just bring it back too. He took the lens back and sold me a 70-200 f/4 L, which was very sharp. Your lens is a 70-300, which is a different lens, and one I have not tried. Most L zoom lenses have a constant maximum aperture, though not all, the 100-400 and 28-300 have apertures that vary, probably due to the size the lens would have to be to support a constant max. aperture.

Yes it does. The CC packages are awesome. It is by far the best option for photo editing. You will always have the latest versions of both pieces of software.

Thanks a bunch. I'll pick up that program now. I guess i'll start with the 9.99 a month and move up as I get better. Thats what I pay for netflix and I don't even watch that anymore.

 

[JacaRanda]

Well hopefully there will be no moving up with the price. Not sure what you meant by it, but you have great plans if you are moving up from Lightroom & Photoshop together; which are what the $9.99 get you.

 

[riley3245]

I was talking about the plans here: https://creative.adobe.com/plans. I guess I got a little confused. I don't think the other plans offer anything I need in terms of editing. It looks like just storage and website

Thanks again for all the help everyone. I downloaded the free trial of PS CC and I have a lot to learn. Hopefully it won't take me that long to figure out.
