Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out which PP software to use in the future. I currently use Rawshooter as a RAW converter and Paint Shop Photo IX. I do like Rawshooter but am not happy with Paint Shop, it crashes and it seems the general quality of the software declines with each new release.
Here are my options:
- Elements 5.0
- Photoshop CS3 (once released)
- Lightroom
... or any combination. I think I will get a free Lightroom license because I have Rawshooter. So, I guess my questions are: Does it make sense to look into Photoshop, or would that be redundant? What about a combination of Elements 5 and Lightroom?
I am currently running W2K and can not install any of the trial versions, as they require Windows XP. I will be upgrading later this year, but I qualify for student pricing until May and would like to take advantage of it.
Any recommendations? Sorry for the long post. 
Florian
