    yeah most lenses are sharpest when stopped down a little. My 18-55 and 55-250 are both sharpest at around f/8.

    Also with that 35 being a prime it better be sharper!

    So I did these editing with a software that came with a macbook. Not the greatest(first time doing editing) but just wanted to see what some of you guys think, especially the ones who are great with photography on this thread/forum.

    Lens is with the 18-55mm that came with my Canon Rebel Xs camera. What software do you guys recommend for beginners that wants to get into HDR photo editing? And also I will need "RAW" files for better editing, correct?

    I got before and after pictures:

    A lot depends on the lens but yes. It's sometimes the case that it sucks at both ends.

    did you use iPhoto? I personally think they are over edited and overcooked. Personally I wouldn't get into HDR photos right away and I would focus on the basics of editing and taking photos.

    I recommend getting Photoshop Elements and downloading the "Camera RAW" plugin from Adobe and shoot RAW.
