I'm taking an adult-education photography course for shits and giggles. The course is billed for ten people, but there are only five of us enrolled. The instructor says that because there are so few of us, we've been running through the course material way faster than normal, and he'd like to spend a few weeks going over Lightroom and post-processing. (FWIW, I've got the unsupported version of Photoshop 2 on my home desktop, and I 'sort of' know how to use it... but not really.)
The instructor's preference would be that we all sign up for a subscription to Lightroom. Looking online, you can buy a Lightroom 6 disc for just over a year's rental. Is this something I'd be better owning, or renting? I may or may not end up using it a lot. I know that I don't really use the PS 2 that I have a lot. For simple things like cropping, and tweaking brightness and contrast, it's just easier to do it in Microsoft Office.
Opinions?
