Hello all. I purchased Lightroom a few years ago and have been very happy. I have been doing 100% of my pp work with it except occasionally I am using an older version of elements to do Pano's. I am mostly interested in landscape photography although I dabble in lots of different things.
Lately I have been thinking about learning some new processing skills specifically HDR or tone mapping, maybe some focus stacking, or even decreasing focus to give a tilt shift look to some images, I have heard the new photoshop has better pano ability, I really like the idea of content aware fill to remove powerlines and the llike. I downloaded the free demo of photomax to try and was pretty happy but I am wondering if it would not be better to just upgrade all the way to photoshop rather than pick up three or four different plug ins to do whatever my current need is.
So does any one have any advice? I think I am elegible for the education discount so the price isn't hugely more than just two or three plug ins. Which would be the better and wiser route?
