Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate it.
My need is usually to print some photos )I basically do not have other needs )- in this case 200 wedding jumbo photos!
So, I start in RAW and follow the sequence- white balance, light, contrast, vibrance and then some sharpening in RAW- usually go up to more than 100 in RAW, etc. Then I am normally satisfied with the output as a photo.(I would be happy to print- but still in RAW format)
For every photo, I would then go to the "normal" PS, but this is where I see the discrepancy between the edited RAW and PS.
In PS, I would do levels, but then I get unsure- should I sharpen more (I like the High Pass filter) as in PS it needs more, as in RAW I was quite happy with the outcome, but not in PS.
I usually use High Pass and then save as a JPEG to print.
Now, with this project, I am not sure. Obviously I need photos. I would like the family to see the images as close as what they would appear on a photo, as this was my task for this wedding! That was the reason for my question= a basic photo editing program where I can show them the photos, so that they can decide what looks best (eg Picasa, etc) -ie not a programme where I continuously click on the next photo.
I am not sure if this is clear??
Thanks for any opinion.
(The difference between the RAW image and the PS image is much clearer on my screen than on the screen shots)
