What software ( Photoshop, Aperture , Lightroom etc) do you like to use when editing your images? Is there any tricks you recommend that others may not know?

I like Lightroom a lot. My favorite free ones are from Arcsoft. They've got some cool software. Silkypix is great too and it's free. It can work with RAW shots too but their manual is just painful to use. Lightroom is my favorite. As for tricks .... after I've gone through all my shots and picked the keepers, I sometimes will use the Nero PhotoSnap JPEG artifact remover tool before I import them into Lightroom. My favorite action in Lightroom will depend on the shot. The Adobe Lightroom for Dummies book helped me a lot! Tim

I'm a big Aperture fan - Photoshop always crashes and makes me crazy. But it's a necessary evil ;) They have great video tutorials on Apple's website http://www.apple.com/aperture/

I love using Corel Photo-Paint. I think that it's great for beginner's and intermediates alike to easily grasp a professional photo-editing program and Photo-Paint is a great way to do so. Highly recommend Corel Graphics Suite X4 which comes with - CorelDRAW and CorelPHOTO-PAINT

Photoshop lightroom for normal editing and for heavyer editing Photoshop CS4 such as panorama. I started of with photoshop which was very differcould, later I got Lightroom which does it all. it's nice to use if you have loads of pictures to edit and is very simple in use. you can save your edits to a picture as presets and use them again later on other pictures which require the same settings. it doesn't matter if you use Jpeg or RAW files it handles them the same "a tad slower with Raw of course, 12mb per picture" . after that I use google's picasa for uploading.. I find it faster then direct uploading to a website ( 1600 pixels ) but on internet we hardly use 3MP pictures or bigger so thats not a problem *would be cool if livinginhd.com had an option to import from picasaweb
