Digital BW, The Print

If you ever?  When does one NOT continue to manipulate an image after
capture except after it is framed or some other final step? The only images
of mine that I don't do dodge, burn, etc are those table top set ups that
I've shot in studio where lighting is absolutely controlled. That also
occasionally hold true for portraiture, but I prefer to give the subject
some room to roam in the frame and finish up later. Since I do all the
printing I don't, or hardly ever, hand it of for someone else to print. 

 

A good editing program like PS is required at the very least with the
elements package.

I use both. Lightroom is fantastic for organizing large amounts of
images. It also supports most global adjustments you'd normally want
to do on an image. But if you ever find yourself wanting to apply
something selectively to parts of the image, use layers, brushes, or
use a photoshop plugin, you'll need Photoshop. Do check out Photoshop
Elements. I haven't tried it myself, but people say it's very good and
supports many of the same operations as Photoshop. 

Adobe has fully functional 30 day trials of both available for
download. I recommend trying both.
