Hey that’s neat, Photoshop on a tablet. Have you used Photoshop Express Android App much? Is it free?
I wholeheartedly recommend Lightroom because it streamlines the entire post-processing. Drawing from the Foundations Course Lesson 5.2, Benefits of Adobe Lightroom, these are some of the technical reasons why I use Lightroom (beyond the ease factor):
• Organize and edit in the same program
• Works seamlessly with Photoshop
• Eliminates complete dependence on Photoshop
• Multiple methods for sorting and filtering pictures
• Stores metadata and editing information in sidecar files instead of a duplicate file
• Uses sliders for making controlled and flexible adjustments
• Provides a wide array of local adjustment tools in addition to its powerful global adjustment tools
• Supports RAW processing
But that doesn’t answer your question about price. 🙂 There are three options for using Lightroom:
1. 30 day free trial. Use this to see if you really want to buy. All the features are included in the trial. https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/lightroom?promoid=KSKAY
2. Buy the stand alone software. This is what I used for along time and works well if you don’t think you’ll be doing a lot of photography for a long time. Here’s the prices: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=lightroom+software&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alightroom+software
3. Buy a subscription. For if you’re going to go into photography more seriously. The Photography Plan is amazingly cheap for allowing you to have both Lightroom and Photoshop. This is nice because you don’t have to pay to upgrade. It stays updated. http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography.html
It’s so awesome to see an Australian delegation here on the forums!
