Thanks to the abjectly bad predecessor to DPP being essentially unuseable, I ended up using RawShooter Essentials as my first real RAW converter, and when Adobe bought the program and incorporated it in ACR and Lr I moved first to ACR, and then as my image collection grew, I moved to Lr in 2011 at about the time of the first Lr4 public Beta release. C1 Pro probably comes closest to the full versatility of Lr, but it is a much more expensive proposition.Īlthough Lr and Ps, along with Bridge when necessary, are my main workhorses when it comes to my photos, I do have DPP 4, and DPP 3 since I need support for my old 300D and my 20D which I use as a second camera, as well as DXO 10, Picture Window, FastRawViewer, GIMP, and ICE on my computer. As far as I'm aware nobody else has quite the same level of combined DAM and RAW functionality within a single application interface.
With a really good RAW converter, essentially ACR, directly incorporated directly in the same user interface. I use Bridge quite a bit, even though I access all my photographic images via Lr.Īdobe also throw in Lr for free if you want a heavyweight database driven DAM application that can make looking after your images incredibly simple. Although Bridge is a very good file manager program, with plenty of useful multimedia functionality, along with a lot of tight Adobe integration. Are you going to be using Ps CC? If yes then you get the choice of a very good RAW converter, with absolutely no attached DAM at all, just use ACR. Actually since Adobe also give you ACR along with Ps, and Bridge now being free for everybody, it poses some interesting questions. PhotoscapeX is like Lightroom it is for adjustments before Photoshop work.īut the point is still valid, you get Lr for free with Ps, or of course you get Ps free with Lr if you are looking at CC Classic. Photoshop is a different animal a much more powerful animal.
