I just purchased a starter camera. (Canon T7) It has two lenses that came with. The 18mm-55mm which has IS, and a 70mm-300 that does not. I like to take senic landscape photos, nature, and just about anything that catches my eye. What would be the next logical lens for me to buy as an upgrade? I was looking at two lenses. One is the 18mm-135mm the other is the 70mm-300m with IS. Do you think they are decent choices? Is there another lens I should look at? Keep in mind I am on a budget of about $500. Thanks so much for reading.

DPP4 can be used to edit JPEG files. but JPEGs are, by their nature, less editable than RAWs. Heed Ernie Biggs's advice and shoot in RAW. Once you get the hang of it, it's much easier to edit a RAW file than a JPEG.
Thank you. there two choices for shooting Raw on my camera. Raw and Raw+ a symbol that looks almost like an AL Right now I have it set on AL, again I know it's not an A
I recommend the manual at page 88-91. The difference between the jpeg modes is well described there. The thing you think looks lika an A is a symbol for low jpeg compression level and with few jpeg compression artefacts.
