There have been some stunning before and after post processing photos posted here in recent times. I've got zero experience of post processing other than a bit of exposure adjustment and sharpening using Mac OSX (Lion) built-in software. The photos posted here have been remarkable and I'd like to learn how to do something similar.I'm certaily no professional photographer, but my first step is always to open the raw file in ufraw (yes, there is a MAC version). It is amazing what you can do right there. I have rescued some photos I thought were totally lost. It will go guesses as to correcting exposure, white balance, etc. which you can tweak a bit more on your own. Since the price is right, I'd really suggest you give it a whirl.
So, where do I start? Presumably I'll need some software - whats the recommendation?
If it matters I'm shooting with a Nikon D7000 and an 18-105 lens. I shoot in RAW and jpg.
Thanks for any help.
