Software, Plug-ins, & Apps (that we have used for years)
Software

CCleaner
Helps keep
computers behaving
- Adobe (info and downloads plus tutorials & forums)
- Adobe Lightroom Classic (unlimited upgrades/updates and bundled with Photoshop for $9.99/month)
- AutoPano Pro by Kolor (we still think better stitching program than the ones in Photoshop or Lightroom)
- CardRecovery by WinRecovery (PC software for recovering images from a memory card)
- CardRescue (Mac software for recovering images from a memory card)
- CCleaner Professional by Piriform (for keeping your computer behaving ... now a Mac version, too)
- LastPass (a nifty, secure way to keep track of all your passwords)
- Perfect Photo Suite by OnOne (includes my favorite resizing Perfect Resize)
- The Turning Gate (Backlight website authoring, also see Plug-ins below)
- ViceVersa Pro (free version, too - great syncing program for backups - I prefer "mirror-image" backups where the backup looks exactly the same as the prime, rather than nested in a series of folders with letter-number file names that mean nothing and would take you to the South Pole and back).
For Macs, Linux, AND Windows, try FreeFileSync, but do NOT install bundled software Opencandy
