What post software do you use?

[Bluffkin]

I've started to use Coral Paintshop Pro x6 and was wondering if I should buy it. Or would you guys recommend Lightroom or something else?

I mainly use it just to adjust my RAW photos. Contrast, clarity, adding blur etc etc.

Thanks!

I previously used Gimp (free). Now use Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC

Fully recommend LR and PS but that's just me.

These days, Lightroom and Photoshop CC. I do not do a lot of heavy image manipulation or multi-shot stacks or multi-image panoramic stitches, so for me those two things cover it.

For general photos .. I use Lightroom.

What I currently use:

1) Lightroom 5 and Photoshop - combo pack from Adobe for £10 a month. This does pretty much everything.

2) Neat Image - used as a plug-in for photoshop and I use it for noise reduction and sharpening

3) Combine ZP - Helicon Focus - Zerine Stacker - photo stacking software for bugs!

98% of the time I do everything in Lightroom. The other 2%, I use Photoshop CC. I absolutely would not function without Lightroom, I NEED it. For straight photo editing and post processing, I would recommend it over any other photo program on the market right now, even Photoshop. I use Photoshop for more of the graphic art part of photography, not general processing and editing.

I use LR4, PSE 11 and Nik collection.

I just use Photoshop CC, no lightroom. Purchased it before the subscription plan started, and I refuse subscriptions, so I don't get the "package".

LR 3.6 here. PS Elements 11. I think ZP for
Stacking.

I also have Corel PsP x6 or whatever but never really use it. My wife does.

I'm going to purchase Corel VideoStudio X7 Ultimate though for video editing for YouTube.

Lightroom 5 about 90% of the time. The rest is in Nik Silver Efex Pro, Photoshop CS5, Portrait Professional, and Photomatix pro. Lightroom is really the heavy-lifter.

Lightroom 3 and nik software

Nikon Capture NX2 and DxO Optics 9 99% of the time. I also have Corel AfterShot, Corel PaintShop Pro X4, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and Lightroom. I can't stand Lightroom and uninstalled it. I don't care for Photoshop and seldom use it either. I'm on the verge of uninstalling it as well since all it does it take up disk space.

I do everything in Lightroom.

Lots of people use Corel's Paint Shop Pro. For it's cost and features it's is a good deal.

Lightroom can't do everything, which is why Adobe's Photoshop Photography Program includes both Photoshop CC and LR 5 - https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?promoid=KKVFE

I use Photoshop CC, LR 5, HDRsoft's Photomatix Pro, Topaz Adjust, the Nik suite of editing software, Imagenomic's Noiseware Pro.
I also have but don't often use Photoshop Elements 6 & 7, Photoshop CS 4 Extended, CS 5, LR 2, LR 3. LR 4.

Photoshop raw editor for 90% of my edits and photoshop proper for any touch up.

I use Lightroom for time lapse. Very good for batching a ton of photos and applying the same effects.

Oh yeah it's photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.
