[quote="NightyByeSparrow"]I use Photoshop Elements, which, if you don't want to buy or simply can't afford the full CS version of Photoshop, is an excellent and pretty inexpensive program (Adobe.com says it's about 120 dollars, but can be found for less in other stores).
For a free program, I would recommend GIMP.
I haven't tried out any Corel products, so I wouldn't know about those...

I went to Staples today and they had Photoshop Elements 7, and it was $80.00 bucks. LOL. And they had Photoshop CS4, it was $600.00 bucks. But I really want a program until I ask Santa for Photoshop CS2, I heard it's good.
