I’m looking for a software program that does everything so I don’t have to take pictures and put forth the effort to achieve what I want.

For those who are not very perceptive, this is inspired by recent posts here on UHH. In other words I’m being sarcastic.

It's called a Nikon Df. Use it SOOC.

You mean go out and work at getting a good photograph, know what I want and know how to use my camera to get it myself instead of having a computer do it for me?

I just gave it a quick look, but I’ll dig deeper later. Thanks. But I’m not looking for awards or to start a career, I do photography for the enjoyment of it. That’s why I mostly use prime lenses and mostly use ME and MF. All of that is part of the enjoyment for me. I do minimal PP, and I get pleasure from creating a good photograph myself, not from having a computer create a good photograph for me.

Some people may use Luminar AI that way, but as the advert states, the results are editable, so you should just see it as giving you a useful starting point. Getting good results via editing will give an added incentive to go out and "put forth the effort" to get good photos. In other words good results will be more likely to provide an incentive to try as opposed to providing an incentive to become lazy. And anybody not taking advantage of editing tools is leaving their photos with unactualised potential. I don't see any virtue in that.

You mean a photographer and not a computer operator?

It's called a Cellphone Camera. You barely have to do anything and bingo - the results are just what you want.

Hmm, let's see. I can use the Exposure compensation feature of my camera or I can use the Exposure slider inside of photoshop. I can use the noise reduction feature of my camera or I can used the Noise reduction feature of a plugin inside of Photoshop. Hey, I can use the Aperture setting on my camera to get that beautiful background blur or I can just recreate it inside of Photoshop. Wait, I can put a 10 stop neutral density filter on my camera to slow down the shutter speed or I can just simulate it in Photoshop. Like Ansel Adams once said, " You don't take a photograph, you create a phtograph". You can use the portable software package you carry around with you inside the camera or you can use the software package that resides inside you desktop computer. Does it really matter?

Or you could not use any of those digital things and rely on your skill as a photographer.
