If you are looking for an excellent photo manipulation program, may I suggest Photoshop Elements 2.0. While I love Photoshop (I've been using it for 9 or 10 years), a majority of the things a photographer would do to a photo is available in Photoshop Elements. Since PE is $$99 before rebates, and Photoshop 7.0 is aroung $579, you can see the price alone makes it compelling. I do believe there is a demo of PE up on the Adobe site.

*ACK!* *ACK!* *ACK!*

Adobe products!!!

Yup, that's the program I'm currently hating on my sister's computer. She has some downloaded edition that I can't seem to make heads or tails of.

But it probably works well for others!

**edited to add: for the record...she loves it!***

I just bought this software, Robb. In fact it came today. I am working on figuring out how to use it, and so far I like it.

Well, under the "help" menu, there are online tutorials from Adobe.

There is a great book: Photoshop Elements 2 Solutions: The Art of Digital Photography by Mikkel Aaland

I would suggest buying that if you are looking for a good overall resource.

I am finding some help with the manual that came with the software. I have heard the book Robb is talking about is very helpful.

Also, in the upper right hand corner of the screen, when the software is open, there are a couple of options. One is 'How To' and one is 'Hints'.

I just found this link while surfing at www.dealofday.com. It is for a video that explains how to use this product.
