Windows Software

  • Canon's Digital Photo professional - it came bundled with the camera. Used to perform simple editing task on the *.CR2 images imported from the camera and to export them as *.TIFF's.
  • Update March 2014 - Have bought Adobe Lightroom 5
      
  • FastStone Photo Resizer - used for resizing the *.TIFF's and adding watermarks before converting to *.JPG's for the www.
     
  • Startrails is used to create "star trail" images, by staking a number of images.
     
  • Deep Sky Stacker is used to stack multiple images - I'm yet to achieve an image worthy of sharing :-(
     
  • Paint Shop Pro X4 (latest version 01/02/2014 is X6) is used for editing images (a poor mans version of Photoshop).
  • Update March 2014 - have upgraded to Paint Shop Pro X6 Ultimate (with Face Filter 3 included)
     
  • Microsoft's Image Composite Editor is used to create stitched panoramas and Photosynth's.
