No really big on over editing photos EXCEPT when Im bored with plenty of time on my hands but do have a "play " with new revisions as and when . Have done for a few years but usually end up deleting almost EVERY program I " test" well before the trial expires . Yeah I know , we are all different but considering this is only a self funded hobby and 99% of what I take is for the Internet . Enough said .
99% of all that I need comes from
FastStone Image Viewer plus its suits my eye and I like how all the 4 panels get "parked" off screen until you need them . Yes , I have "played" with lot of others over the past few years .
Also use
Affinity Photo sometimes because I have NIK Filters working as a Plugin on its platform . Win 10 ... I dont use maybe 90 % of the rest of the program .
And last but not least when someone wants a decent file to print off ,
DXO Photolab Elite . Had it since it was Optics Pro days . Expensive maybe but I love it and hope one day they integrate Nik Filters to work with it same as FilmPack and ViewPoint . To me its like having an assistant that knows my "style" .
Like I mentioned these are MY PERSONAL preferences , no one elses . Not into Adobe , never have since about Elements 8 or so . Bloatware . Purchased a full version of ON1 Photo2019 Raw , played with it for a month or so and deleted it . The list goes on but to me , getting out and about to different venues , meeting like minded people is more fun than sitting ( or standing ) in front of a monitor for hours on end .
When people ask why " don't you do it for a job ? " I just smile and walk away .... Best Wishes over Christmas and the New Year and maybe , just maybe I will see some of you " out and about " in 2019 . Holty...
