:agree: especially during the summer months when I want to spend more time with my family.  Post processing all my gig images takes sooooooo much time.  And when I try to work at the pool, so I can spend time with my family, the glare from the sun is atrocious to work around.

Mostly CC - Photoshop and Lightroom. A few plugins.

Time is the biggest drag for me

I am starting to get the feeling that Time is a bit of a problem! Anything else?

Mostly Lightroom.  Also a little ACDSee, Elements, and Irfanview.

hate - Clumsy cataloging schemes (hello Lightroom) and tonal corrections just for print jobs.

like - Optimizing exposures and vibrance (I'm a sloppy shooter).

True. I find that the learning curve when the tools change or new tools become the norm can be a problem too but I guess that also comes down to time.

To be honest I have a wholesale graphic design and fixed price photo editing company. We are expanding this year and particularly in Photo post production. I am trying to work out what are the tools that everyone is using and what problem I can best solve for photographers. Really all the thing I have heard are the same as I feel about digital post production but is is nice to know I am not the only one.
