An unpaid plug for Adobe Lightroom
I always shoot raw images and had been using Canon's free raw converter (Digital Photo Pro) for the past 5 or 6 years (along with Gimp, a free but very powerful editor). I just recently decided to pay for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and have been going through some photos from my photo dungeon to see if the new software can improve any of them. Here's one I'd taken at my family's farm, because of the location of the sun I couldn't really get what I wanted out of it and sent it to the dungeon.

And here's the same photo after re-processing the raw file with Lightroom. Virtually nothing was done in Photoshop other than a little bit of sharpening, all of the changes are because of the ability of Lightroom to make different adjustments (saturation, exposure, contrast, etc.) to various regions of the photo. THIS is the photo I had envisioned in my head when I took the shot.
