Hi all,
Bit new to all this, particularly image processing software .........
My first question would be, does anyone here use Open Source software like 'Darktable' and 'GIMP' for image processing ?
I like the look of Lightroom and the ease of using it, and obviously the results that can be achieved. But then you would also need Photoshop, to finalise the image. The biggest drawback I'm seeing right now is the cost of these programs
As I'm in France, the cost for Lightroom is €155 ........ Photoshop 6 I just can't seem to find the price for ! but I did find Photoshop Pro that was €650 ! and then there's this thing called Photoshop CC, where it seems you buy into something then have to pay about €10 every month to use it !
Can anybody enlighten me ?
Personally I would prefer to use Open Source software, as the money saved from having to buy the software would be best spent on hardware ......... like a new lens !
