The following was written in May 2009, in Gran Canaria:
I´ll never leave the house without carrying my small finepix-camera with me. Some very nice pictures originate from such occasions, as you can see for yourself in my flickr album. Back home I do some minor editing while the photos are still in the camera, well, this means I do some cropping. The camera´s built-in cropping feature is marvellous, so much better than Window´s PAINT programme which is installed on my computer. The old AOL cropping feature which they had built into their internet access programme was also marvelously to handle.
Anyway, that´s all the editing which I (I´m able to) do with my machinery.
I do the shooting as best as I can in the picture-taking situation, trying to apply the best frame and dof, stop and shutter adjustments, so I won´t regret having no proper editing programme. A modern version of such a programme (like photoshop) wouldn´t even run on my old computer and also old OS.
Update August 2009: Now that I have an Apple notebook with iPhoto on it, i have a far wider range of editing tools at my hands.
