Just got a new DSLR (Canon T3i) and have been dabbling with it. I thought it might be fun to do some digital darkroom stuff, so I have been researching the software to do this with. It seems that Photoshop is the most popular, but it is just too expensive, and the learning curve is just too long for me. Makes me think of CAD program learning curves.
I ran across a program called Sagelight Image Editor. Does anyone have any experience with this program? I downloaded the 30day trial, and have messed with it a little and it seems like something I could use. The development is a one man show and I get some mixed signals from him. It appears that he had put the project down for a while,but now he seems to have a renewed interest in continuing the development. I am thinking about paying the $40 for the license, which includes lifetime updates and I can install it on all my PC's as well. I am just wanting to get some input from my fellow woodworkers, before I pull the trigger on this.
