Hi.
I've just upgraded my computer system to a 13" MacBook Pro Retina 3GHz and a 27" 2560x1440 monitor.
I haven't really done RAW processing before. Now my new computer is all set up, I've installed DPP onto it, and updated it to version 13.3.
But I have the impression that people here mainly use other software for their RAW processing.
I have heard people talk here about "Aperture" (I believe it is Apple software?), and Lightroom.
Which is best? I have a 5D3. How much do they cost?
I have had a quick play in DPP with sharpening a couple of pics, and I was impressed by the result. Much better than the SOOC jpg. I set sharpness to 0 on the 5D3, to get rid of those "black dot in the centre of small bright points" problem (IIRC). There was a nasty sharpening artefact problem with in-camera sharpening.
So. Which RAW software should I use? I have a feeling that the serious people seem to use "Lightroom"; is that so? If so, why?
Thanks.
