Hi All,

What post processing programs do you use, or do you have one program that does it all for you?

I am not a power user by any means, but I find that I only need six or so inexpensive programs to help me with my digital photos:
Picassa: Free. Basic fixes, straightening horizons, showing pictures to spouse. Easy to use interface.
Canon's Digital Photo Professional: Free w/Camera. Raw adjustments, exposure fixes and good white balance control.
PaintShop Pro: $29.95. Layers, cleaning up scans from negatives, etc.
IDimager Lite: Free. EXIF fixes
ProShow Gold: $69. (My most expensive purchase) Slide shows to send familiy members
Opanda IExif: Free. To see the settings used by others for pictures they have taken.

Digital: 6D, 5D, 50mm f/1.8 Mk 1, 85mm f/1.8, 17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200L f/4, 550EX, 580EX ii (2), 430EZ (2)

Lightroom (Bought at intro price+discount)
DPP (rarely, now that I have Lightroom)
Zoombrowser (when I want to batch process some RAW images to look like camera-jpegs)
Photoshop Elements (not as much, now that I have LR, but still needed for pixel edits and plugins)
The Gimp (free, open-source)
Autostitch (free, for panoramas)
Andrea Mosaic (free, for Photo-mosaics)
Photomatix (for HDR)
Faststone Image Viewer
Exifer
Probably a few other misc. tools... but mostly LR, then either Gimp or Elements.

Lightroom with Elements 5 for layer work. Don't go in Elements very often as Lightroom does 99% of what I need.

Used to use:
DPP (occasionally)
PS Elements 5 (almost exclusively)

Just switched to:
Lightroom (for most adjustments)
PS CS3 (for final sharpening and output, layers work, and playing around)

Currently exploring the wonders of CS3 (Lab color, actions, ect.), but I've got a long ways to go.

Aperture and PSCS3.


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Lightroom for practically everything now.
Photoshop 7 rarely.
GIMP at work.

I'd like to try out Noise Ninja at some point, but not until Adobe allows for Lightroom plug-ins.
