I am shooting digital for 5 years but my editing skills are still very basic. I've tried several SWs but always returned to DPP in the end, just because it is so user friendly. However, I know I must learn this sometime and anything that can make PS more user friendly is a very welcome addition AFAIAC.

If you have ever done a reasonable amount of work in the darkroom, I suggest you get some of the Nik software tools. These are not cheap, but very good, and give back that feeling of control one had in the darkroom, just better. To me it was the investment that finally gave me a feeling of confidence and control with the stuff I was doing that I didn't have before, or took me literally days to achieve, where it now takes, depending on what I want to achieve, a few minutes to a few hours for really complex stuff. In short: it now takes me less time to do in the digital darkroom than it used to in the wet darkroom, with more control.
Kind regards, Wim
