I really haven't got to grips with specialized photoshop techniques such as HDR and the rest. So all my work is quite simple with normal tweaks. I see works by creative photographers and it's wow!! I will get there. Need some good software. My computer complains when I am processing large files. I always shoot in RAW. With film I knew what I was going to get. With digital I am less confidant so RAW allows me far more latitude to correct.
Just had a look at some wow pictures. Works of art. Common factor CS6 software and Macintosh. Rock and Roll!!
I am on Facebook under "Hyde & Seek Pictures"
