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.

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.

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.
