I just couldn't get the hang of dealing with layers. Could be I wasn't willing to invest the effort at that time due to other commitments. Then again I'm getting the feeling that the problem may have been that I wasn't using RAW files?
I used to use PhotoShop way back when, but due to family health issues, I haven't used any of the post-processing software (other than iPhoto) for close to 20 years. The brain isn't as nimble as it used to be.
I was just at a photo workshop where it was suggested I start shooting in RAW plus JPEG. But I'm thinking I don't want to be storing these on the laptop. So, when I tried to export them, they were converted to JPEGs. What am I missing here?
I'm thinking of taking a class at the community college to get a handle on Photoshop or its components, but what's a good approach to saving some of the best shots from Big Sur in the meantime? This was where I thought Lightroom might come in handy? Would that make sense as a first step?
