I used the auto settings on my Canon XTi until a few weeks ago. Now, I am in full manual only! Thanks to Christi at Rawsii and her class, I am finally, for the first time, learning to really use my camera! I am so excited to learn even more and have learned so much just from this group alone. I own a Canon XTi (wishing it had spot metering) and mostly use my 50mm f1.8 lens. I tried photoshop elements and didn't like it. I am currently using Lightroom.
