What to look for in a photo editor
Everyone has different editing needs. Here are some things to consider…
1 Organising tools
Being able to edit your photos is one thing, but you also need to manage and organise them – and the more pictures you take, the more there is to organise. People have different needs, and some can manage perfectly well using a folder-based filing system and image-browsing tool like Adobe Bridge (included with the Photography Plan). However, this is not enough for many photographers, and a more advanced cataloguing tool is needed. Adobe Lightroom is the most popular solution, but there are some very good rivals, notably Capture One. ON1 Photo RAW, Exposure X7 and others have cataloguing tools, too, though perhaps not quite in the same league.
