Hi there,
I have been shooting for a few years now with a Canon point and shoot (got a new model each year! can't help but buy them!). Finally stepped up and bought a T2i last month. I have lots of learning to do, especially in the editing department!
Would love suggestions on editing programs and styles for engagement/wedding shoots! Will be doing MANY in the next year!
Good to meet you all!

I make a humble suggestion-don't look at photography as though you can edit afterwards. If you compose and shoot as though there is no such thing as PhotoShop, you'll learn how to photograph, instead of how to edit.I have lots of learning to do, especially in the editing department!

There's nothing wrong with p/p skills, but you should use them as an adjunct to shooting skills, not a replacement for them.
Good luck and let's see some of your stuff.

Possibly the best advice I've gotten. It's much easier to do that with my new camera!

Amen JimH. Totally agree and I think that it is about the best advice I heard in long time.

Love the sunflower photo! I had to think about how you got the reflection for a minute. Nice shot!

Dear Kaelyloves:
Welcome aboard...this web site can really get under your skin and be addictive. I am warning you! But, the most important thing is that you will learn so much and see so much! As far as photo editing programs, Photoshope Elements is the one most seem to like. It does require some time and patience to learn. If you want something really fast, no learning curve, however not as all encompassing, try picnik.com. It's free.

P.S. I learned about picnik.com through someone on this web site...

I have used picnik! it seems to lower my image quality sometimes though, so I am trying to stay away! I downloaded GIMP this afternoon, and my boyfriend has photoshop! so we'll see what I end up doing!
Thanks to EVERYONE for the advice and input. I am already addicted.
