Capture One 4... very powerful RAW converter at less than $200... download a trial version for a spin
picasa is only good for very minimal pp, it doesn't offer anything close to what lightroom can do in terms of control...If you require the image viewing and quick editing features of lightroom, think you can try Picassa. Not sure bout the latest edition, but the one i used to use was somewhat similar to the concept of lightroom. Except you can't process images from raw files.
lightroom edu version is $158 ;p
Hi MadMacs,
I checked adobe online and it says the student version only applicable for US and Europe cusstomers. Any idea where I could obtain student version here?
I downloaded the LR1.3 for the 30 days try-out and I am really loving it.
