This months theme is: Photoshop

You don't have to use Photoshop itself ... any photo editing software will do. But, the idea is to have some fun with your photo editing software. Be creative and get those submissions in!!

...

The usual rules:
1) submit one photo
2) you must have the rights to the photo
3) put the dog's name in your post please

Ooooo what Canon did you get?! As far as software, I use PhotoShop and Lightroom and I find Lightroom to be MUCH MUCH more user friendly and fun to use

Ditto on the lightroom. It is a great way to keep track of the photo's.

There is a bunch of software out there to use for editing your photo's. Photoshop is very good and the Photoshop Elements (i.e. 'light') will do much of what Photoshop does for less money.

I had a PM asking me more info and I thought maybe more people would want to know as well...

So...

Adobe Lightroom is an application that stores/tracks your photo's. You can enter keywords for the photos, search for them, sort them, etc. It has some very basic editing features in it. Here is some more info and here is Adobe's page for it.

Adobe Photoshop is probably the premiere product on the market for photo editing and is very rich with features. ...and has a pricetag that's pretty high. Photoshop Elements is less expensive and has most of the features that the average home user would want. So, Photoshop is more for professionals and Photoshop Elements would be probably for hobbyist/enthusiast's...although I know some non-professionals that wouldn't use anything but full Photoshop.

There are other applications out there that are a lot less expensive that will let you do the basic editing of photos ... sometimes free with the camera. They may have some of the Artsy utilities as well.

What are other people using?

I don't have any real editing software, but I did think to invert the colors of a BW photo...not bad, iff'n I do say so myself
