    I am trying to figure out which photoshop program to purchase to edit my photos.  Which software do y'all recommend???  I am new to photography and wanting to buy a DSLR, but until I have the money to do that I want to go ahead and practice my photoshop skills.

    Thanks in advance!

    I think photoshop elements is a good (and cheap) place to start. It's a bit more basic and user friendly, but still pretty powerful.

    Before you buy any kind of Photoshop I recommend trying a similar free program.  Gimp, for example, is free to download and it is VERY similar to Photoshop.  I have used both and while they are set up differently, you can achieve the same effects using this program and it is FREE!

    I use Corel Paint Shop Pro and I love it.  I have tried Adobe Photoshop but there was just too much going on in the program for me.  I would suggest downloading the trail versions of different programs (usually 30 days) and see what you like best!

    I have photoshop CS3. If you are a student or educator you get a discount and you can get it for like $350.

    I had to take a class in Photoshop to learn to use it properly. Otherwise it's incredibly overwhelming. But i LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
