So I just switched over from using Cyberlink Software systems to Adobe (Yippee for higher prices), and in some ways, it is not nearly as user friendly as Cyberlink was. However, it does offer a "jump-for-joy" amount editing power versus Cyberlink. Lightroom is much simpler in use than Cyberlink, but Cyberlink's all-in-one editing program does not do nearly as much as Photoshop. So I kind of went from the middle ground to the extreme ends on a scale of 1-100...LR being maybe a 25, Cyberlink a solid 60, and PS in the 90's. Overall, the transition is rather difficult to get used to because of the learning curve on these TWO new systems. In the end though, switching over gave me a little more control over how certain aspect of photos turned out. In fact, I just did my first boudoir shoot and used the software to soften the skin tones a little and make these photos work. I loved experiencing a new type of photography while also using a new type of software to utilize my goals in it.
I really am going to miss the new opportunities and the feelings of not knowing what I am doing...the further you get into something, the more you become adept at it, but you lose all of that wonderment of trying something for the first time.
Anyways, I submit for your thoughts, my first boudoir photography shoot.
P.S. I have some more if you want to see the rest.
