We mention in this article editing tools (plugins or standalone)
that we used in 2008 and which are now an integral part of
our workflow (means we don't want to miss any of these tools).
We also don't list our own Photoshop Tools which we of course also use all the time (list is not complete):
Here you can find the complete list of our photo tuning tools.
Stay tuned for some exciting new tools in 2009. We likely post one of them in early January.
2008 introduced again a few very interesting new tools.
Here is our article about the tools in 2007.
Photoshop CS4
Photoshop CS4 is our core imaging hub because all our images pass at some point through Photoshop. We use quite a few Photoshop plugins and this alone requires of course Photoshop. We use now exclusively Photoshop CS4.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.x
Lightroom has become our main workflow hub. We use it mainly as organizer, printing and for web galleries. As organizer Lightroom is open all day long (containing 45,000 images right now). We hardly create any final images in Lightroom. This is reserved to Photoshop CS4.

Photomatix 3.1
We use now HDR now for over 2 years.
Photomatix helps merging the images into HDR files and also
performing the needed Tone-mapping (we mostly use the Detail Enhancer).

Note: we use Photomatix also for our "grunging" technique
