The popularity of photo-editing software and easy accessibility influenced millions of people around the world to post-process their images as well, and it because quite easy to make your own photos look like they were taken by a professional photographer.
Choosing adequate post-processing software became as equally important as having the right camera to capture an object, person, or moment.

The software we will introduce throughout this book was designed to take image post-processing into the next level.
