I saw the thread on Photoshop and it sounds like a good one once you get to know it. Anyone ever tried that cd they advertise on TV from the Video Professor? I was thinking it might be worth the $7 to get the Photoshop one. Any other programs you like? While I am not at all new to photography I am brand new to photo editing. The only thing I have used is Shutterfly--so nothing advanced at all.

Photoshop here. I was a photographer for 6 years in the military, so I got lots and lots of FREE training on it. It's an amazing program...even now, I feel like I only use about 10% of it's full capacity.

Sounds like Photoshop would be a good idea for me. I will check out those books too. I know I have some version of Photoshop floating around here somewhere that I never tried out. Now, to find the time!
