Guest Tess32 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You should provide a little more info - skill level, what you want it for, budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffiend42 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 For bog simple stuff, which is all I have the patience for, I love Picasa. Plus the fact that it's a management tool for the photos, and it's free. No doubt serious enthusiasts would find it too simplistic, but for my purposes, it suits me just fine.

I store my pics here- crop, and do basic colour adjustment, blemish touch ups and other simple stuff It is a fantastic tool for emailing/resizing pics too! THIS ONE was done 90% with Picasa. I also have photoshop, and lightroom....... use these infrequently.....only for 'special' photos . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 +1 for what Tess asked - what do you want to do? There's no one size fits all but there are some top contenders for different budgets and needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'd suggest starting off with picasa and then moving up as your skill level grows. I started with a free program, moved to paintshop pro and now i use a combination of paintshop pro, photoshop cs3 and lightroom. I'm glad i didn't start with them though - i'd have no idea!

Joan of Arc Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I went to TAFE and spent one night each week learning Photoshop and now use CS4 and spent another night each week doing digital photograhpy, where I also learnt to use lightroom. I'm still learning but at least now I can do a new signature if I want and I edit all the dog photos instead of sending cards to a friend for her to do them.
