Canon - The only choice in my eyes once you 'go big' in the digital
realm. If you want to step up to a DSLR then I doubt you'll look
much further than Canon.
Adobe - Photoshop. You know what it is. Take some time to learn how to
use it and you'll have a tool of infinite power at your disposal.
50% of the credit for the content of this site has to go to Adobe.
Macromedia - Dreamweaver is a great tool for creating websites. I've used most
of the other major ones but I kept finding myself coming back to
Dreamweaver. After a few months with demos from a few different
companies I ended up buying Dreamweaver. Sonic
Foundry - I use more Sonic Foundry products than I
care to mention here and I have since long before this site was
even a glimmer in my eye. Great products for multimedia production.
Check out Sound Forge and Acid for audio and Vegas for video. There's
literally tons of other Sonic Foundry software I use regularly here
too. It's all good! Since I originally wrote this, Sonic Foundry
sold their line of multimedia production software to Sony. Look
for these products under the Sony name. Same stuff,
different owner. I just wanted to keep the Sonic Foundry name there
because those are the folks who pumped out some of the best multimedia
creation software on the market, Sony just snatched up the goods. |
