Photography Software

Revision as of 20:41, 10 March 2007

There's a lot of software available for processing digital images. Here's some that's used by OCAU members:

Adobe Photoshop - The most commonly used and 'industry standard' image editor.
GIMP - An Open Source image editor. It has many of the same featurs as Photoshop, and should be more than enough for most people. It can be also found as a portable app. The beta versions are usually very stable, and are much more up to date than the 'release' versions.
RAWShooter Essentials (mirror) - Excellent, free program to covert your RAW images to TIF or JPEG. The main site seems to be regularly down - use the mirror link if this is the case. Update: RawShooter has been bought out by Adobe, and replaced by their Lightroom software. However, RSE should still be available.
IrfanView - Free image viewer with minor editing abilities.
Capture One - Not a free RAW converter, but has an excellent workflow. Very high quality outputs.
ReNamer - A very, very handy free file renaming tool (took me a while to find one!)
WiziWYG - Free monitor calibration software. The main site seems to be inactive, so the link is to google which should find you a mirror.
