Unlocker, thanks for the link. Been on Aperture for years and this gave me the stimulus to move over to Lightroom. I didn't sign up to a recurring subscription as hopefully there will be another annual deal next year....

No probs, I'm still stubbornly hanging on to Aperture so I know where you're coming from!

Guys, is there any feedback on Photoshop alternatives?
Was not sure where to ask...

Mac, PC, Spectrum, Amiga or Commodore 64?

I'd check out Affinity Photo from Serif. It's extremely competent software for a very low price, less than £50. I've used Serif products for many years in preference to PhotoShop (which I still have on my PC) and I'd be surprised if you can't achieve everything you want with Affinity. It's available in PC, and Mac and iPad versions. Lots of good reviews on the net. Check it out here: link

Guys, thank you for your suggestion. Do these editors provide CMYK editor?

What is it you're actually wanting to do? Process raw files, jpegs or both, and from which camera? I'll also ask again what system is it for as not all packages are available for all systems so it would be no good recommending, say, Aperture, if you're using a PC (I wasn't being facetious!) Also, what are you using now? Do you have Pentax Digital Camera Utility and what do you think of it?
Strangely you'll need a decent editor to do CYMK so Elements wouldn't suffice. But why do you need it? Elements will do a pretty good job of photo editing.

Does this help?

Like Jak, I think it would be helpful if you could tell us what you want to achieve. However, the Affinity website does say this: "Work in any colour space
RGB, CMYK, LAB, Greyscale. End-to-end CMYK workflow with ICC colour management, and 32-bit per channel editing."

Not sure what you are planning to do but I would advise that the often quoted 'you must work in CMYK for print' is obsolete. Adobe's recommended workflow these days is to keep everything in RGB and then supply PDFs in PDF/X-4 format. Personally I work in RGB and then have the PDF output settings in Adobe InDesign do the conversion to CMYK. The workflow I use is not PDF/X-4 as such (because InDesign is doing the CMYK conversion) but it works well. My day job is producing catalogues and brochures for a multi-national company.

That's very interesting. Does RGB being restricted to 24 bits (16777216 colours) cause any problems?
