Ok I just did a quick look at Afinity and the DXO Photolab 6. Couple of questions,
-Afinity has a V2 universal package for 99.00 and the standard one for 49.00, is it worth the extra to get the V2 pacage?
-I was impressed with the DXO Photolab 6, is it a stand alone system or does it need help from another product like Photoshop?

Thanks guys for all the advise. I think I will look into this Affinity program. And I like what Bill_de said "enjoy my new freedom from work photography" and I WILL get back to the fun part of it. Happy holidays to everyone!

My wife and I gave up the wedding business, so my photography is now down to a couple of jobs a year, if that, for friends. I would like to find a good simple editing program for the least amount of money. I gave up Photoshop and Lightroom. Any suggestions?

Thank you to the ones that defended my grammar in my last post. As you can see by my name "LU10IT" I am a lieutenant with a fire department my primary job is saving lives and property. I have enjoyed my second talent as a wedding photographer for over 10 years. I was bored one morning and remembered this chat site and threw that question out there to see what other professional photographers thought. I've not been on here in some time, and if abc1234 ( how long did it take you to think of that catchy name) is the kind of people that are on this site it may be a while before I come back!!!

I'm a wedding photography in Daytona Beach Florida, My wife and I have been in business for over 10 years, how long is the general rule, legal or moral, should we hold onto the files.

What would everyone suggest for a professional web host for photography

Thanks, I have spent 2 days with adobe support and they don't have a clue we will see

yeah my head hurts from trying to contact adobe

I just installed photoshop cs6 and every time I close out I get a pop up that states, DDE Server Window: Photoshop.EXE-Application Error. How can this be fixed?

I know that this topic comes up quite a bit, RAW vs JPEG, and I have to admit I was not in a rush to conform. However I have been trying it out at my last couple of events with the spare camera, Nikon D90, shooting some pictures in RAW. My question is, getting it from my camera to PP using windows XP and PS 3 in a timely mannor as I may have hundreds of photos from any given event that I have to process and get to my custumer. With JPEG, its easy, just download to PC, right click to PS.
Their has to be an easy way of doing it.

Magic Lantern Guides has a book that comes with a DVD that you can watch as well, Nikon D700 Muliimedia workshop

I went through this with my wife when we started our wedding business, and going back to when I was in collage and took advertising remember less is somtimes best. A business card should be only be an jntroduction, leave them something to call about and then sell them on yourself.

I have question. When I had my PC built by a friend he designed it to handle the photography that I was getting into and installed Photoshop CS3. I don't know if it was a real version or a boot leg copy. My freind has moved away and no way to get in touch. Can I add an update even if it is a copy?

Does anyone have a good trick to printing pictures for hard CD/DVD cases. I bought some pre-cut paper on line, but the templete that was designed for it off the web site was in Word format and was useless. I tryed one I found that was linked to photoshop but still wasn't exavtly on the mark. Any ideas? Oh the paper size is 51/8 x 101/4.
