As part of our processing workflow, we mainly use Adobe Lightroom, however we also use a range of plug-ins and other software to achieve the best results. Here are some of the software we use and recommend.
Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop
Our starting point for all our images is Adobe Lightroom. This is a fantastic piece of software that we use to catalogue and start our editing processes. It is simple to use and has many features that allow you to be creative with your editing. With so many plug-ins available within Lightroom (check out the other software listed below) it handles all our requirements. The creative cloud version includes Lightroom (Classic & CC versions) and Photoshop at a reasonable monthly price of AU$14.29 / US$9.99.
ON1 Software
It works as a plug-in for Lightroom & Photoshop and as a standalone, which is an awesome alternative if you do not have these. No subscription is required and it is available for both Mac & Windows. At the heart of the software lies Develop & Effects which includes everything you could possibly need for creating the look you want. The hundreds of filters and presets are stackable, allowing for endless creativity. Click here to check it out and use “WIDESCENES” in the coupon code at checkout for up to 20% discount.
Skylum – Aurora HDR
Very useful editing software app which works as a standalone product or plug-in. Aurora HDR is the best HDR software currently available on the market. It’s a one-stop-shop for HDR shooters who want to align, blend and stylise in one application. You can order the 2019 version which has even more great features than the 2018 version at a great price. Click here to order Aurora HDR.
