I need a really good photo program that I can do pretty much anything with such as collages, and black and white with just one object in color. Pretty much anything to do with editing photos. Thank you.

I use Paint Shop Pro. I LOVE IT. And I recommend version 9. That's the one I've been using and they have a version 10 and 11, but they suck. lol. 9's the best. But you can do ANYTHING with your photo using that program. It's kind of a big program, but believe me, its incredible. I also use that program for graphic arts.

Easy....??? Well, yes and no. To do all the basic stuff that comes with the program, yes it is. But there are lots and lots of plugins and other things that can be added to it. I have a huge folder with over 50 sub folders of stuff that I've added to it. But the program itself is wonderful without all that and it just gets better with all that stuff. It took me about 3-4 months to become a pro with the program. Just depends on how much time you have to spend on it.

I use photoimpact 10. I really like it. It's easy to use, but also has tons of professional features. I have Photoshop CS2, but because it's so hard to learn, I use PI more often and it does pretty much the same thing as Photoshop.

I also use Paint Shop Pro and I absolutely LOVE it! There are so many things that you can do with it. They have these graphics called tubes that you can get all over online and they make life so much easier. All you have to do is experiment with it. I want to learn Photoshop as well as I've heard it's the best there is. My mom uses it and loves it. If you haven't used any photo program, I would highly suggest starting out with Photoshop right away. Once you learn a certain program, it's hard to make that switch with all the little differences that seem HUGE once you're used to a program. We do a lot of graphics, logos, and photo editing ...if you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to message me!

I like Ulead PhotoImpact for editing my photos. I have used down through all the different versions and it does whatever I need.
