Editing
Editing software allows you to adjust and alter your original photograph that you took. This can be basic or complex.
For editing of your images you can choose to work with Bridge-Camera Raw or Lightroom. It is your choice.
If software is confusing for you, then just keep with Bridge-Camera Raw. However it may not have some features that Lightroom has.
Note: to view your adjusted images in your website you will need to do the following:
Camera Raw > convert and save
Lightroom > export
