I do my first download/import/select with it, then move on to the Adobe products for further processing. They can handle all image formats and work with your existing folders. They’re affordable, standalone, and have some cool effects. My suggestions (and I’m a professional photography mentor).įor managing your image library, I’d look at ACDSee Pro. Raw is not always necessary, in fact I use jpgs when the images are only for online use. If you don’t need to do this, I’d switch to jpgs. It’s usually serious amateurs and professionals who concern themselves with those.īecause the only advantage to shooting raw is to keep all the detail possible for effective post processing, usually for large prints. If you’re just shooting for fun and family, you don’t need anything expensive. (do I really NEED RAW files and not just converted to a picture format?) And I think you can use Extensions but I THINK that means the RAW file is converted and saved as something else and brought back to Photos…so not RAW anymore. I could switch to Apple Photos and use that as it is free but right now it is missing a few things mentioned above. and love to have Presets that I can build for a certain look…be it B&W, Sepia, color Boost, etc. I’d love to be able to process one photo and copy those edits to a batch of photos. Ideally I’d prefer to pay once and use…not a monthly subscription to use software. I’ve looked at a few PP but haven’t found what I’m looking for. In theory, anything I switch to will either lose my edits on RAW -or- I have to flatten those edits and bring in to the new program “finished/developed” So, I will need to switch to a new DAM and PP. I still use Apple’s Aperture as a DAM and Post Processing.īUT…that will come to an end one day when Aperture (which Apple killed off) just won’t load. I currently shoot RAW with my Nikon DSLR and just JPEs with iPhone. What do you use for a DAM and Post Processing and do you shoot RAW?
