Digital photographers can save themselves work in the digital darkroom when processing their pictures simply by using the right software for the job. A long days shooting has the potential of meaning hours of work more in the digital photography darkroom, our PC. Hundreds of photographs taken in the day mean hundreds of photographs that need to be imported into our PC, processed, tagged and sorted to files.
