I don't have it in front of me, but it should be under tools, then click on the crop tool.

Either that, or it is under view, but I think it is tools.

GIMP is free online, many (actually most) of the same features as older versions of full blown photoshop.

I have Elements, CS5, and Gimp, as well as a few other photo softwares that I've collected over the years. I'd say Elements 10 is probably the best place to start. It is cheap, you can find tons of tutorials, and now that it has content aware fill, I use it more than even CS5.

The only reason I even open CS5 now is for doing RAW and seriously detailed stuff.

Nobody mentioned old school reversing ring.

I have one, but have never used it.

I'm dying to get LR. I have elements 8 and just moved up to CS5. Elements organizer was OK when I had fewer pictures, I now have 180,000 (don't ask, I never pitch even a bad picture, a "bit" of a hoarder) Anyway, Elements organizer chokes on too many photos and crashes completely. From what I understand, LR can handle thousands, and may also help me to group them, and maybe even....gasp... delete some. :shock:
