Dear members,

we want to help you to save money. For free. Sounds great, isn’t it?

Many members are thinking about buying a new camera. That is nowadays a very expensive investment. You want to have an improvement in your image quality. But are you sure that you will get a significant better image quality with a new camera/sensor? It is not only about MP. More MP have also a downside as you know.

Would it not be a better idea to think about a way to improve your image quality without buying a new camera?

We are at a peak in sensor design. The improvements are marginal from one sensor generation to the next sensor generation. These costs are not proportional to the prospects for a better image quality.

But what is the solution for this inherent problem? The answer is simple. Invest more time in post processing!

Learn an imaging software (no matter which one) and see how the image quality improves without spending money on expensive gear. That will save you a lot of money!

How can we help you?

After Adobe decided to switch also with other image editing software apps like Photoshop Elements etc. to a subscription model, the need for alternatives increased. We looked at the software market for different alternatives. We created for you for the most important (in our view) image editing software/apps separate community forums. All for free. All for you, so that you have an independent place to meet others and help each other with the imaging software of your choice.

As of today, we opened for you 4 different forums, in English and in German, for specific image editing apps. These are:

Adobe Lightroom (if you want to stick with LR/Elements etc.):

Capture One Pro:

DXO (Photolab etc.):

Luminar (more AI driven):
