I love taking photos. I've got thousands on my hard disk managed by iPhoto. They are all taken with a simple 7MP Canon point-and-click camera.
I want to "get into" photography a little bit more seriously and am going to buy a dSLR (haven't quite decided which one - but that's another matter ).
What I am looking for is some advice regarding the best sort of software for my needs. I already feel like I have outgrown iPhoto and I suspect when I get my dSLR I will need better software.
What would people recommend for an amateur photographer? I have been looking at Lightroom and Aperture 2 (leaning more towards Aperture) but would I also need some form of image editor such as Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) or would Aperture/Lightroom suffice)?
Thanks for any advice,
MadDoc,
