Re: 'Best' Processing Software
I have Photoshop CS6, which I needed in my astro-imaging days, but it's not for the feint hearted, as it is quite a learning curve.
For the enthusiastic hobby photographer, it is IMO, very much overkill, as they are most unlikely to use many of the tools and processes it offers.
I use Photoshop Elements 14 pretty much exclusively now, because provides all the tools I need, and has a very good cataloguing programming included with it. It is also a 64bit program.
I also have Lightroom 5, but rarely use it, because Elements can do things that Lightroom can't.
Lightroom is an excellent piece of software but is primarily aimed at professional photographers who have large batches of images to quickly process, and catalogue.
Although I have both Lightroom, and Elements, the latter is my preferred option.
You can download a 30 day free trial, and have a play with it.
