Per the canon guys you want to use the canon photo pro software in your initial raw workflow.   canon does not share their algorithms with adobe etc.   
The comment was that the canon software will do a cleaner job sharpening, exposure editing etc.  (personally I think the HDR in photo pro does a better job)
Lightroom is good for cataloging and doing batch edits, and cs5 for working with individual pictures, and elements is a light version of cs5.
I use CS for everything, including RAW worklow, its excellent. ;)

English please.. LOL
I shoot in RAW format to be able to make adjustments easier, Photoshop CS will allow you to work with RAW images.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Further clarification for Ross- RAW is a picture format ie jpeg, however it is the basic information that the chip recorded without any post production.  (basically has twice the data as a jpeg) problem is there isnt a raw standard, so Nikon raw is not the same as canon raw. 
It's a different world than film, or the old instamatic.
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

I don't mind at all  :tup:  I think the flower was the only one I didn't edit. This software stuff and shooting in raw is all new to me so I have a lot of learning. I tried to mess around with layering and that turned out like crap  :chuckle: 

Thanks. Thats good to hear. I have been getting a lot better at my editing. I hope he doesn't mind I was a little bored.

If you want to use LightRoom, there are tons of "how-to" videos on YouTube.  Also, LightRoom is a great organizational tool for all your photos. 

It’s said – LightRoom is for photographers and PhotoShop is for designers.  This may be a little simplified, but mostly true.

I took these photos this morning with my new 350 and was trying out the software it comes with and just wanted some input or tips? One tip imperticular, how to resize down to the POTM contest  :)







If you are using a PC, then go with Lightroom from Adobe. Simple to use with plenty of options for more advanced editing.

If you are using a Mac (which you should be) get aperture for $99. Best program for organizing and editing I've found yet.

I have both and prefer CS over lightroom, and I'm not a designer. ;)

What Canon software do you have? If its  Digital photo professional just click on file, then convert and save. At the bottom of the window there is a box to check "resize". Check it then resize to what you want. dont forget to save. Hope this helps.

Most people, as well as the POTM, try to keep them sized at 800 on the long side.
