To edit your pictures on the computer, the absolute best program is Adobe Photoshop, whether you spend five or six hundred dollars and buy the full version, or one hundred dollars and buy the Lite or Elements version of Photoshop.I recommend Adobe Photoshop for every digital photographer. There's a lot of other stuff by Microsoft, and JASC, and Corel and other people out there who make programs. Any digital photographer who's worth his salt is using the Adobe Photoshop family of products. That's where I recommend you go edit your pictures for a number of reasons. Number one, it's clearly the best. It may not be the cheapest, but it's the best. Secondly, it clearly has the most support. If you Google Adobe Photoshop help, you'll get a thousand responses and you can't even read all of them. If you try to get help on some of these other programs, you're pretty much on your own. I would highly recommend Adobe Photoshop for everybody who's serious about doing photo editing.
