Thanks, guys, for the information. I have recently retired and am getting back to photography in a more serious way, although mostly it's travel pics these days. From reading the various posts, it's hard to figure out which software to buy since each person seems to have a favorite. I want to learn to do more than just simple color correction, etc. and am particularly intrigued by some of the black and white stuff. Gosh, it's been almost fifty years since I was last in the darkroom. BTW, my current photo equipment is Nikon D5300 with Nikon 18-55mm, Tokina 11-16mm, and a newly-purchased Nikon 18-300 m.m f 3.5-6.3 for travel when I am not carrying my camera bag (haven't used it yet).
Has anyone got experience with the Nikon editing software? Your opinion?
