[Edited Photos-Where are they?]

I think I have a better understanding now, thank you.  I suppose I need to just get my hands on it, and try it on, so to speak.  This is totally new, unchartered territory for me. 

 

Kudos to you and your photography endeavor.  I sometimes wish I had gotten into photography in the film era (not that it is too late... yet), as it forces you to learn to be good much faster, I think, given the cost and time and energy required to process.

 

Thank you for your help.

[Edited Photos-Where are they?]

Thank you Mur_phy.  One additional question.  I have not yet chosen an editing program (I am a year in to the SLR world, and until next week, I have not had a computer that would support any program), though I am leaning toward Affinity, after some research (which, obviously is continuing).  I read on another forum post on here that Affinity does not currently have any kind of way to organize your photos in storage (separate files).  Is this accurate?  All your photos are just lumped in together? Also, I believe that post was specifically regarding the new Windows version; I would be using the Mac version. Is there a functionality difference between the two versions?

If I may jump in and add to this question.  I am new to photo editing as well, so this may be a ridiculous question, but, are your photos stored online, or are they stored on your computer? I am assuming they are stored on your computer.
