<p>Lightroom is great for this kind of stuff. Takes a bit to learn, but once you figure out it's power great. Invaluable for me.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I find the using LR as opposed to PS has cut my work flow significantly. There are lots of folks on the web who've written about their workflow in LR as examples, a search should turn up a bunch.</p>

<p>I'm a fan of Fuji Superia 400 as an all purpose. It has great latitude, while still maintaining a pretty good grain structure, and good color saturation.<br>

Hope that helps,

<p>I'm sure many great photographer do just fine with shooting in JPG. I'm a bit anal in that if I can have total control over my photograph/negative, and not have the camera make some decisions for me, I'd rather have it that way. <br>

I was trying to impress up him how much of a diffenecr it can make, especially as a beginning photographer.</p>

<p>Again, good luck.

<p>Once you learn how to use RAW and RAW editing software, you'll never turn back. Many good resources have already been listed. I don't believe Adobe Lightroom has been suggested yet...it is a great Raw Editing tool that many professional photographers use.<br>

Good luck,

<p>A good 'pay as you go' solution that works for me is 'Instaproofs.com." The service is free, but they take a comission of off any of your orders. If you're fairly new, and just a few appointments, this could work well.<br>
