Lightroom, perpetual licence. Got it over 2 years ago and paid £90 I think. Fuck Adobe and their forced monthly payments. It works with my 5D Mark4 RAWs so could be years before I need to give Adobe any more of my hard earned.

it's just what i'm used to atm. started off with ufraw, which wasn't really my cup of tea. gave darktable a try for whatever reason, and i've stuck with it since. never used rawtherapee. i should probably give it a try, but i'll leave that for another day...

This is a very easy task. The UI is a pain in the ass sometimes. It's not difficult, just cumbersome.

It's decent, the UI is a little bit fiddly. I still prefer to use Lightroom at the moment but I know one day I'm going to move to Linux and going to use RawTherapee, Gimp and Darktable.

Gimp.

yeah. I know. i did use Darktable for a bit, but never felt I was as in as much control as I'd like over some things such as organization. Stepped away from it for a bit, and now I don't remember how to do anything in it.

Someday I'll sit down and figure it out again, but until then, I'm just too accustomed to Gimp ... I can barely even make my way around Photoshop.

On my iPad, I've been using Polarr. I used to use Modern Editor, but it wasn't updated for iOS11.

RawTherapee mostly.

Sometimes Silkypix for fuji RAF files (it's wierd but works well when you get used to it) and ViewNX for Nikon NEF (viewing and basic editing).

For layers, masks and whatnot PaintShopPro (Jasc abandonware version kek).

I use VSCO filters on Lightroom as a colour base then work from there since I'm a beginner too. You can find VSCO filter packs on Pirate Bay. No idea if you can load them into RawTherapee but I don't see why not.

I've used Lightroom in conjunction with WS_FTP and a few other programs to manage archives, my archives go back to when I was 12. I just finished building a large computer for this but I'm thinking of moving everything over into a dedicated server with 50TB of storage, I already have a dual Xeon rig collecting dust right now.

if you watch the video, he overdoes the sliders to show what they do in extreme cases. It's not part of his real workflow.

I don't see myself as a beginner, but I'm doing the same as you, because I tend to consider the post-process part tedious, and prefer to concentrate on taking pictures.

I use jpgs. If I need to pull shadows or reduce over exposed skies I load up the pictures to lightroom. I really can't be fucked to shoot in raw and fuji produces decent enough jpgs for it to nearly always be a waste of time.

Snapseed has gotten so fucking terrible. Every single tool is available under one giant clusterfuck of a menu. Actual RAW Exposure compensation is an option right next to instagram filters. It's disgusting.
