As someone who has a complete dearth of photography knowledge,can you steer me towards a good photo editing program? Let me lay the groundwork: My photographic skills go no further than a point-and-click camera in the "auto" setting, with occasional use of the macro mode. I can follow your first 4 steps below as far as taking your word for it and making the adjustments to the camera's settings without really knowing how each setting really affects the shot. Then, when I saw your next 7 steps, I kind of got a bit in over my head. My photo editing consists of using Picasa's "I Feel Lucky" button and the crop command. Would it be worth it to upgrade to a more robust editing program or would I essentially be paying money for something that I wouldn't know how to use and just be wasting my money? In other words: P&S is to DSLR as Picasa is to Lightroom. If I don't know enough about photography to bother getting a DSLR, then I don't know enough to bother getting Lightroom?
