Hi all,
I have a few questions and apologise if these are covered somewhere else in the forum. I want to begin photo editing and have been told LR is the way to go. However, I'm on a tight budget and will look to purchase LR 5 rather than the latest version. One of the things that has caught my attention whilst watching some instructional videos on macro photography is focus stacking. I gather that LR can call on Photoshop to do this but cannot do it within LR itself. I don't know if it's the full version of Photoshop that's needed or Elements so hoping someone can clarify this for me. If it's Elements can anyone tell me in which version this functionality exists as, again, I don't want to have to purchase the latest version.
I'm also in need of a suitable laptop to install this software on and could do with some advice on an appropriate model to look for. This is purely hobby stuff and not commercial so it doesn't have to be super fast with ridiculous amounts of memory, just something adequate enough to do the job without issues.
Thanks in advance.
