It's a hot topic right now among photographers. How to stream line your workflow and produce a quality product for your clients. To assist, there are a number of software applications out there. All have their pros and cons. Here are few: DXO Optics pro, Bibble, Photoshop Lightroom, Aperture and Capture One.
The big question is, how do I know which is right for me? The answer lies within the question. "for me" or "for you" implies that you need to clearly understand what your needs are. For example if you are a wedding photographer and want to streamline your workflow, create a bullet list of items that you want to provide your clients (digital proofs, slide show, web gallery, prints etc.) and then you can evaluate the software based on these needs. It's as simple as what will get you from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time with the highest quality.
Once you clearly identify your needs then comes the "fun" part and by fun I mean time consuming. You could simply read the specs on each application and the manufacturers descriptions about how miraculous each of their respective applications are. Or you could spend endless time reading reviews and posts of peoples opinions of which are irrelevant because everyone has different needs. That is why it is invaluable to TRY these applications yourself. All of the companies who make these apps offer trial packages. Why not download the free trials and experiment yourself. Then choose whatever software is right for YOU.
Have a great day!
