You’re comments are valuable, @buddingphotographer. Many photographers on the Lenspiration site do not use the “expensive” programs that I am accustom to using which can sometimes cause a sort of disconnect when it comes to answering questions on the post-processing side of things. So having the experiential advice, recommendations and answers on these forums from someone who uses and is familiar with the less conventional way of doing things, is very beneficial! Thank you.
I will direct people to this tread when they have questions about image resizing and compression outside of Lightroom and Photoshop!
