Really need some photo editing software and cant devcide which one.

Torn between

Adodbe Photoshop Elements 4.0 @

Got to admit to using and liking Paint shop pro ...but not the new corel one ...you may be able to pick up psp9 quite cheaply somewhere

I currently use Adobe Photoshop which is quite complex but very good.

There is a free software called Gimp which is apperently easier to use .

I use photoshop CS2 however that is quite expensive (unless your prepared to run a non licenced copy)... BUT it is THE program to use. But if you after a cheaper alternative then Paint Shop Pro isn't that bad...

here you go PSP 9 for

If you can have what you want, why not do 30-day free trials and see which you are most comfortable with? IMO it's not which is best, but which you are happiest using that gives adequate results. If you need truly professional results, it might be an idea to do a course to learn how to get the best from the very many options (e.g. as in Photoshop).

I've used Gimp, Photoshop (and now CS2) and Paintshop Pro (Pre Corel). CS2 takes some beating, but as Mo suggests, it might be worth using the trial copies so you can decide which suits you best
