Test Poll for most used editing/organizing softwares

[MarkN]

Nice poll, I like the way it works.

For me:
Elements
Lightroom perpetual
PerfectPhoto
DxO

I also use Topaz, but probably use DxO slightly more often.

I use Elements 12 (I have used Elements since the LE version updating every two years or so). I do have Lightroom 5 and I did install it on my computer, but have not used it.

I am more of a hobbyist when it comes to photography (I do not consider myself a photographer) and mostly use Elements to restore old family photos and to create birthday and special occasion cards for family and friends and wrapping paper for gifts. I do not use the organizer in Elements (having my own filing system for photos, projects, files, etc.)

I originally got Lightroom for the full ACR functionality that it provides over Elements version, but have found the importance of the organizing and filing system in LR not to my liking, and the moving between Lightroom and Elements and back to be very confusing. It will probably be a long while before I am comfortable enough with the program to use it very much. Which is fine for my needs. I am very satisfied using Elements. While there are many features of Photoshop CC that I would like to use, I am one of those folks that is not prepared to rent software. I am happy with what I have.

I also have Perfect Effects 9, but haven't spent much time with it. I do plan to spend more time learning this program.

I am a longtime member of EV and am very glad this new forum was created. Even though I do/did not post very much I would miss everyone if this forum wasn't available.

The only thing I don't like about how this poll works is that after voting and exiting the forum, I can log in again, go to the poll and delete and/or change my vote

When I log back in and go to the poll again, I can see the green tick next to the option I voted for but I can then click the green tick after which it disappears. The number of votes and total votes tallies are then decremented by 1 and I can then go and vote for another option after which the number of votes and total votes tallies are then incremented by 1.

I don't think the poll should work this way.  In this type of poll it's not a big deal if someone changes their vote but in other types of polls allowing users to change their votes is not desirable.
