Sir,
I am doing photography with my Canon 1200d for while and I now I want to shoot in RAW mode because it is said to give you better control over image if you apply good post-processing. I have decided to learn a good RAW image post processing software but I just don't know which one to start. There are many choices but most of the photographers are suggested only paid version, but I I also searched free version , there are few , please mention which one I can use and I don't want to learn new software later. My preference is free software but if there are not many good choices then I will go with paid also. So far I have seen suggestion to use Adobe Lightroom (which is not free) , DxO pro, it is also not free and Aperture (which I can't use because I do not use MAC and it is mac only). So confusion is increased even more with it. I find some free raw editors like RawTherapee and lightzone but I am worried that if give time to learn them and later I find that I should use something else then all my time invested in learning it will be wasted. So I want a good choice which is future proof.
