Answer 4

What are you trying to do?  I'm one of those photographers who doesn't mess up  my pictures in Photoshop or anything like that.  All I need is a good file manager (Directory Opus) and a file converter (IrfanView).  Both are free.

Answer 5

adobe photoshop is what i started on... it has a lot of things you can do and it is fairly easy to use... the only problem is that it is expensive so if you go to adobe.com you can download a 30 day trial... there is a lot of different photoshops, i recommend either 6.0 elements but cs3 is the newest and i believe has just as much as 6.0 does

go with photoshop, it's easy to use, and easily "found".
