Camera Advice Would Be Appreciated....

What about Adobe Bridge which is part of the Adobe Creative Suite? I find it quite a good library system and it can be directly accessed from within Photoshop, InDesign, etc.
Photoshop has developed over 20 years and is now far more than just a photographic editing application. Apps like iPhoto are essentially for non-professionals and are much simpler.

Im having a play with PS at the moment, im getting on a bit better with the second attempt, does any one have a link to basic instructions of what all the different setting adjustments do? As in if you want to try and correct shadow in a picture due to the light source being behind the object you would change the exposure, levels or use the curve function. Seems to be so many ways to achieve different affects :confused:
just having a little play with bridge, first impression seems to be it just indexes your original files rather than merging them into a single large file, but that just an initial impression RR.
Richn83:
Sorry to add to this again RR, but thought you might appreciate the subject matter of my photoshop experiment, this firendly bird hangs out on the beach between Padstow and Stepper point.......
first is the original camera output and the second is my corrected image using the curve adjustment:
And bridge only indexes your files based on metadata to allow you to search for images more easily so seems completely different to the way iphoto works which seems to take an itunes approach to your photos, taking the file management away from the user.

That's my experience of it. I see iPhoto as more of a media manager, with basic editing capabilities. Aperture is obviously far more advanced when it comes to editing, but it's still not simple to just open up an image, process it, then save it out where you specify*.

I have aperture 3, and if i can operate it, then it must be simple. :smiley:
You can import straight from your camera to aperture, or just import from iphoto into a projects folder. Then its just one click to start editing the pic. Once you have finished your edit, you just have to drag it into the folder of your choosing.
I have copied all my folders into aperture, which gives me a nice option of a list of folders, were i can simply one click to edit from, or drag and drop to organise.

@ Rich:
Huge improvement :happy2:. Those Robins get everywhere!
@ TC:
Aperture looks and sounds very typically Apple at its best - Well considered, intuitive interface, and enjoyable to use.
