Smile Re: Editing with other than PS?

Thank you Jacco for your list. It is very informative. As to what I mean by "the little bit of editing" is this: I make every attempt to get my settings for each shot I make as close as possible to what I want in the camera so as to avoid as much post as possible. My new Nikon D300 makes this possible better than anything I have used before. I use the ACDSee Pro first when needed to do any of the following- cropping, straitening, curves, levels, color adjustments, healing, cloning, noise reduction or red eye. I go to Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 for anything else that might be needed. I also use ACDSee Pro to organize all my images on my HD. I find that I can do any corrections needed more quickly and intuitively than with PhotoShop Elements 5.0 which I also have. So, I guess what ever works best for a photographer is the way to go. Photoshop, of course, is the industry standard and works for a lot of people. I just find that it is too much work for my needs.
