The aptitudes of an editor combined with an expertise of editing tools are very important for an editor. The most effective option for a editor amongst the current photo editing tools is Photoshop.
I would like to say Photoshop brings our old photos back to life and Photoshop offers a remarkable suite of photo editing, organizing and sharing tools that is tough to beat.
Photosop is the best for photo editing. Everything from color, lighting. Photo manipulation. Optimizing photos for web. Its the professional standard for photo editing. I have seen that aperature is starting to pick up, but thats more just for adjusting levels, etc. on a photo and not manipulation of it.
