| If you have any post-processing questions, or want post-processing suggestions - post links to your image here, and I'll do my best to find a solution to the problem. Hopefully it'll be informative for both of us ;) | ||

| hi adrian, i am just getting started with all of this...camera is coming next week. a fuji s9000. i have a powerbook mac g4 with basic i-photo. i guess i'll have to experiment for awhile, but offhand do you know if i should just start looking for some other program to work with? i really don't know what is available for post processing and if it will even be useful to me. i am working on a photo/audio documentary of music and life in istanbul. eventually will be presented to groups back in the states. so i want things to look good of course, but i am a musician first and photographer down the list a bit...so i won't be spending oodles of time in post work. thanks for any thoughts. | ||

| The "industry standard" image editing program is Photoshop CS2, however if you're not primarily a photographer it would be overkill. For most people I think a good general starting point would be Photoshop Elements (v4) - there are trial versions of both available from the Adobe website There is a free alternative, TheGIMP - the Windows version feels clunky, and since fewer people use it there are less resources for it out there, but it is free so... MacGIMP Welcome to Jeber! | ||

| If you get PS Elements I'd suggest that you get version 3.0 rather than 4.0. As far as I can tell 3 has all the tools that 4 offers but with version 4 Adobe dropped the very useful 'browser' function which allows you to see thumbnails of all the pictures in a folder as you work. Instead they moved to a very clunky "Organizer" which slows down editing. | ||

| Conversely I'd go with 4 because it allows you to use the current version of Adobe Camera RAW, an excellent RAW converter with support for most dSLRs and digital backs. It also has better 16bit support. I've never used the image browser in any version of Photoshop, so the lack or presence of it bothers me not at all ;) | ||

| hey thanks you 2. i just got my camera so i am sorting it all out! i'll try the trial versions... what i see as my main need is to do the bracketing thing so i can get even shots. notice that not only at night is it useful, but probably day shots with bright sunlight and shaded areas will need it too. | ||

| I was quite impressed with a demo from Adobe on Elements 4. I'd only ever used PS 7, CS and CS2.... | ||
