photo editing stuff?

If you're familiar with torrenting software, you could just torrent CS6 or one of the older versions of photoshop before they started doing the whole monthly fee nazi garbo.

Or just shoot 35mm lol... the money you'll save on gear will more than cover the cost of film/developing.

i gotcha i'll take a look into CS6, i hadn't even thought of that.
in a few months i'll be able to actually buy gear instead of using a phone, that'll also make everything easier.

You should really try to get into Photoshop it Will be worth it in the end.

Don't start with film by the way, getting feedback with your rolls of film will take way too long to start learning. Start with digital and maybe look if your family has an old camera you can use.

I could recommend 3D LUT Creator.. Have a look at some videos..

Use whatever works? I've never used gimp or any of those others, but what I do know is that it isn't the tools but what you create with them. If you can use gimp to make quality edits to your shots then by all means use it.
Personally I think Photoshop is a little too bloated for my editing needs. It's certainly a powerful software and worth learning but it's applications are so broad that it really isn't worth it to master comprehensivly if you're just doing touch-ups on pics as a photographer.
I still like Adobe though so Lightroom is my weapon of choice. It's a great all-in-one program for importing, organizing, and editing your snaps. It even lets you send your pics to Photoshop for the more advanced edits and brings 'em right back once you're done. Most importantly, it's a non-destructive editor; what that means is it apply edits your pics without actually changing the original files, which enables you to go back and change any edits if you're ever unhappy with them in the future (which will definitely happen while you're learning.) So far Lightroom is the best photography software I've found.
And don't fret if you're too poor to pay. Torrenting is easy a fuck, don't be afraid of it.

Ultimate painter patch 2.0 is all you need. Reference the checksum to make sure you have a good copy. Get the Adobe trial versions from prodesigntools.

Oh, and for the actual software, lightroom for cataloging and 90% of simple editing, and photoshop for the other 10%, when you actually want to do something more than adjust exposure.

>money to spend on photoshop

Anon...what if I told you you can simply pirate its latest version (or any version you want) and use it forever?

I mean, what the fuck? Have you been living under a rock?

Get off the Internet grandpa

To OP:
Just torrent lightroom and be done with it

I personally have been using GIMP because I haven't yet torrented lightroom. It's not perfect and lightroom definitely looks easier to work with.

Not to hijack your thread OP, but your question was fairly simple and I don't think it's fair to kill a thread to ask about my editing...
pic related: how is the editing? left is original. The cropping is weird because I used a quick website to put two photos in one so it's easier to compare.

I'm afraid I've done too much with the sky.
How is the water?

>>3121137
The waters fine but you need to recover your highlights. Just duplicate the original on top of the edit layer and paint them back in.

>>3121137
You fucked up the sky really bad. The tint is all off, it shouldn't look purple like that. Also the water only seems to be edited on one side. It looks fine though

I think he edited the entire photo at once, in stead of making the individual changes which were needed.

But as a GIMP user, I can say this is the sort of results I would expect if I used it as my primary editing tool.
