I'm not a computer WHIZ, but think I would enjoy doing some photo EDITING.  I have tried Picasa and HP Photosmart Premier. They're easy to use, but not as advanced as I would like. I WANT something that does more than just edit pics and remove redeye for emails. At the same time, I realize I'm not computer literate enuf for really advanced programs. Any ideas on what would be a good fit for me?Well, for most people, the obvious choice would probably be PhotoShop, but it can be a bit pricey.  Personally, I prefer Paint Shop Pro.  It's CHEAPER, less advanced, and easy to use.  And it ALSO comes with Animation Pro, which allows you to make your own animated gifs.  I still use my old Paint Shop Pro 6.0 (when Corel was still Jasc), but I'm sure the new Paint Shop Pro Photo XI is probably just as good.  Go to the site and download a free trial and see what you think.Try out the GIMP and Paint.NET, both available from the Software FAQ.
I use both and I find them to be really easy to use and very powerful with lots of advanced features
Oh, and they're both free as well.
Hope this helps.CBMatt & Calum.......Thanks!  Will try all 3  You're welcome.
I also liked Paint Shop Pro (never used Photoshop) but couldn't afford it.  Since I found out about Paint.NET and the GIMP, I've never looked back.And I'll be sure to check out GIMP and Paint.NET.  Ha.Haha.
Do it.
For the price, they're very good.
