Hello CataMiss. I have been shooting almost five years. I used Picasa four approximately three years and then slowly got familiar with LR. I switched because Picasa was destroying some of photos. Greyed out and/or a pinkish hue.
I have PS but have not used it to date. I want to learn one program before tackling another. You will love LR once you get into it.
Cheers!
