Narrative Select: Using the software will save you a ton of time. It is super fast and instinctive; just note your favorite pictures and send them to your favorite retouching software.
Lightroom: Lightroom is the most powerful tool for wedding photographers so far. It helps a lot in editing thousands and thousands of photographs. I am using my own presets. (I also sell them.) Lightroom gives me the opportunity to develop my own style quite easily.
Photoshop: I know how to use Photoshop for basic stuff, but I am probably using it for 1 photograph on 400 to be honest. I also use it for my presentations or workshops.
Alien Skin Exposure: It’s a tool that helps me to develop some specific visuals. The grain tool and specific interface are also very enjoyable and simple. Great for TSE and grain.
