I started when they were trickling in the X trans (Fuji) compatibilities and it's seemed easy to just keep up the monthly plan and seems the relative bargain.? I haven't come to depend on Lightroom as much as others seem to as my comfort level was with PS and some accumulated add-ons for most things.? I have also used Portrait Pro for many years.? I started when I was doing many file shots for employees and new hires for my pre-retirement employer.? It must be used with restraint with subtle settings but was great for quickly getting 20+ folks into the system at a time with flattering renditions and it virtually eliminated blemish spotting and subtle sculpting.? I had many positive comments about pictures that "actually look like me"....
