After lot of thinking I went with Lightroom 6. After I came back from India I was in a dilemma whether to buy Lightroom 6 for $150 or subscribe to Adobe for $9.99 a month, which includes Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.

Though it had Photoshop, I could not really work on it as this was just before my India trip in early December. I downloaded and played with in Lightroom 5 trial version for 30 days and then downloaded Lightroom CC, which also comes with Photoshop. When looking at the prices, Lightroom looked cheaper than Photoshop and was confused which software to choose. To edit RAW files, I needed a good software and I automatically turned to Adobe products. In the last couple of years I have became comfortable shooting in manual mode, wanted to move out of my comfort zone and shoot in RAW. I bought my DSLR about 4 years but started taking decent picture in manual mode in the last 2-3 years. I use to edit my pictures in Picasa and sometimes in PicMonkey and GIMP. That was the reason I didn’t purchase nor consider owning the software until last year. Why Lightroom – Adobe products are expensive and I always wanted to learn Photoshop but it is an expensive software. I am using Lightroom for the past few months and still learning. This is more of my workflow in Lightroom than a tutorial. If not for BM, I would have procrastinated doing this to eternity. In fact, Valli added this theme just because I said I would do a tutorial if there is such a theme for Blogging Marathon (BM).


My theme for this week is a special theme and I chose to do a tutorial on Lightroom.
