Cuprajake Question is back in the day I had a ‘copy’ of photoshop, but now have no clue what to use for editing.

Is there a free software?

I now use Darktable, it’s free and open source. It does take a bit of getting used to after Lightroom and PS, but there are some excellent tutorials on Youtube. I find it to be a very powerful editing tool, especially for RAW files, now that I know my way around it!

    Oooohh thank you I’ll have a look too

      Cuprajake I have just dug my Nikon D300s out and went on a weekend course with a guy up here in Yorkshire. Steve bell photography. I have just purchased Serif Affinity 2 photo which seems ok. Just need to learn how to use it.

        I had a d300s good camera

        Flat_Eric does darktable work with jpg or is it all raw?

            New lens has come,

            Annoyingly the lens caps missing but it does have a UV filter fitted, only an Amazon basics so may replace with a Hoya

            I’ve recently fell in love with this guys youtube channel, the way he constructs his videos around reviewing products in that old Japanese Bladerunner/Cyberpunk style is awesome.

            Definitely worth a look for a new take on a typical ‘review’ format video

              i used to watch a guy called james beltz - very good he was too, but he wiped his youtube channel and all his vids are just on vimeo now

                Cuprajake Highly recommend Peter Mckinnon too, his video’s aren’t always photography focused but there’s some cool inspiration to be had with their styling and product photography & landscapes!

                I literally have a camera with a 50mm lens on at all points for work stuff, super versatile and makes for easy good shots!

                    Ernie1 Anytime! - I’m a big fan of that Japanese Anime/Cyber asthetic, Ghost in the Shell vibes in all his videos. Super cool visuals…now just how to tie it into a coffee video 🤔 😂

                        All of the X100 models are so brilliant.

                        I only upgraded mine to the XT1 and 2 as I thought ‘I just want this exact camera but with interchangeable lenses’

                        So what did I do? Got the XT1 and walked round with just the 23mm on for two years…

                        I now use the 35 a lot but I’m certain I could get by quite happily with the X100, and I much prefer the form factor of the X100 too.

                          And now I’m on ebay looking at things I totally shouldn’t be buying…THANKS GUYS.
