Isn't there a month's free trial or similar with the LR/PS combo? Why not download that. On the other hand, if you want to go beyond just processing but experiment with more radical changes to your photos and the look of them, then check out things like the NIK collection or Exposure x7 Not an organiser but a very good processor. If you're getting into Raw processing seriously, then DxO Photolab might be worth checking out. Photoshop Elements is a reduced version geared to the home (and largely photographic) user. But as the old line goes, no ne uses more than 1/3 of what it does, just everyone uses a different 1/3. I don't mind the extra work, but it is more work and more complex.

I find myself processing my Raws in LR and then exporting and uploading to the Cloud version of LR for devices. The Cloud version of LR has that, and some folks pay more to get both, but even at that it's a complicated workflow. LR Classic is a more powerful organiser, But you lose the integration with your wife's devices. How do you feel about the results you're getting on your shots? LR/PS won't get you better photographs, but it might help you save more marginal ones than your current combo. But the question is do you need the extras? I note that you say you enjoy the Photos?Pixelmator combination and that's 99% of it really. Well the simple answer is, based on an analysis of raw features, that LR/PS is more powerful than Photos/Pixelmator. Thanks for reading this and any opinions would be greatly appreciated. I have more time to work on my "digital darkroom" and would even consider taking some classes on LR/PS to re-introduce myself to the products and learn everything I never bothered to learn before moving to a Mac and Aperture years ago. But something in my mind (the part still working at almost 70) keeps saying "But you are missing so much by not moving back to Lightroom and Photoshop!".

I also am trying out RAW Power again - an extension for Photos that was developed by people who originally worked on Aperture - to work more with my RAW files.

And my wife loves the way I can pretty easily share parts of my photo library with her and her iPhone/iPad - so I would not want to give all that up.īut am I missing a lot of capabilities using Apple Photos and Pixelmator Pro as an additional editor through Extensions in Photos.

Unfortunately Apple stopped supporting it and moved lots of people to Photos (which I happen to love and it has gotten much better at post processing over the years - especially with additional programs working as extensions) because of it's integration with all the Apple products.

When I moved from Windows/Lightroom to a Mac I loved Aperture. (Whew - thanks for reading a little of my background.) One also takes part in statewide (NJ Federation of Camera Clubs) and national (Photographic Society of America) competitions. All these clubs have meetings where photos are submitted and a local photographer is brought in as a judge. (And yes I do remember film - mind not that far gone yet.) I recently retired and we moved to a community that has a photography club and there are several others nearby that I wish to get active in.

I am not a professional photographer but enjoying photography very enthusiastically for over 50 years now.
