What is the most efficient way to proccess my photos?

[McGhost]

I shoot with a 1d mark ii. i have the canon software (image browser, image capture) loaded on my mac. i have iphoto and photoshop cs 2. I take alot of photos of a lot of different subjects, and i'm really starting to get disorganized. i pretty much always shoot in raw. is there any way i can use one program to do it all? what programs are the best? any pointers? i need a method that works!!!!!

Lightroom or Aperture, do a search. There is a sticky I think

I use Lightroom but Aperture does the same thing. They each have a few unique features so you just have to decide which is better for YOU.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of either of these before. Perhaps have a listen to a few photography podcasts to get you up to speed.

Agree with the above posts - either LR or Aperture will totally blow you away with ease of asset management and editing. I've used both, and each has positives and negatives.

Apple has some really cool videos on their website about aperture - check them out.

It's a bit of cash, but trust me, you'll LOVE either one. Demo each and decide which you like better.
