Thank goodness for Adobe Lightroom and Adobe CS5! Hands down, these are my two favorite tools when editing photos.
It wasn't until I took my first photoshop class back in college that I realized just how time consuming the post production process can be. Photography doesn't only entail photographing the client at the location--and going home and being done for the day. No, it takes days--sometimes weeks--to edit all the photos in a collection. Here are some "before and after" photo editing examples of a recent Audi R8 shoot.
