Jun 12, 2016 9:22 AM in response to Robnanby léonie,Do you want only an editor or also a digital asset management system to store the photos?
A great new Photo editor is Affinity Photos.
You can also use Photos for Mac to organize your photos in a photo database. Photos for Mac offers many basic adjustment, and you can use Affinity or other editors as photo editing extensions.
Are you shooting RAW or JPEGs?

Photos, where you posted, is not only a very good editing program but is more importantly a very powerful Photo manager - and if there are editing capabilities it includes extentions so you can add many, many editing capabilities to it including External Editors for Photos that lets you use any external editor directly integrated into Photos workflow

Jun 12, 2016 11:05 AM in response to léonieby Robnan,Thanks for the suggestion! I have looked at Affinity on the app store and looks like a good one to start with. May download the trial version for starters and see how I like it.

Jun 12, 2016 11:13 AM in response to Robnanby Terence Devlin,Beware of downloading lots of apps, you just confuse yourself and embark on too great a learning curve.
First: Get comfortable with the camera. A Nikon DSLR is a very powerful and complex machine, there's a lot of learning there.
Second. Use Photos. Don't download anything else until you find something that you want to do but are unable to do with Photos. That way, you're progression to more powerful and complex apps will be gradual and driven by need, rather than swamping yourself with loads of new gear and software, a lot of which won't make any sense.
In the end the object is to take photographs and have fun doing so. Get that part right first - you'll enjoy the process a lot more.
My 2cents.
