Hi all, I rekindled my photography interest only about a years ago after a considerable layoff, so class me in the beginner section! But did a photography A level at school about 1000 yeas ago[emoji15], well before digital.
So far Iv been muddling through with an old Nikon d90 & a couple of zooms, but have some great images. I don’t have a pc or laptop, only an iPad at the moment, & any editing has been limited using the Affinity Photo app.
I want to make things a little easier, than using a small iPad
& play around a bit more with creative editing,
For reasons of lack of space & the need for portability I really need to go the laptop route & as far as computer platforms go I’m very much an apple person....”boo hiss”, so am thinking “Mac Book” open to suggestions though?
As you can see my practical knowledge of editing softwares is limited so which way to go?
Photoshop seems to be the top choice, but I don’t like the idea of a subscription, & would probably take another year to get my head round it, seems expensive & would I use everything it provides? & what’s lightroom all about?
Would it be better to go for the cheaper PS Elements? With no subscription, stick to Affinity, or bite the bullet with full PS.
Some considerations,... I need to store & manage my images in an orderly logical manner on computer,
& need to edit RAW files. Lots of tutorials would be good also Affinity is a bit limited.
Sorry for all the numpty questions that have probably been asked a million times already but I would appreciate some advice here.
Thanks. Marc
