Looking at your best images and still can not understand: why they are not so good as the other photographers? You just can not make good final image for print or publish without photo retouching. You can use photo filters, and try different photography techniques, but post process is one of the most important part for image retouching- to get the best result.
What is the best software for photo retouching?
Most of the time I use:
- Adobe Photoshop – For all high end retouch works
- Adobe Lightroom – I would recomend this premium product for all quick picture retouch jobs
- Gimp(sometimes)- competitor for Photoshop- the only differece it is free for all
- Photomatix -my opinion The best HDR software now.
