if you want a place to go that has a lot of different free or trail based software for photo editing go to cnet.com-this is a good safe site that was recommended by a friend who set up my comuter

If you want one of the best that is easier to use than PS get serif PhotoPlus X5. It's excellent and cheap

I have several but I would pay for adobe photoshop elements. I have it and it is the one program I keep going back too. I have 10 now and will keep that for 2 or 3 years before I upgrade again.

Although it has been said
many times, many ways
GIMP is the thing for you
I have downloaded it and never used it, but note that it has a broad array of tools. There are also innumerable software modules that can be downloaded and added on to expand its capabilities. There are some on this site who use it exclusively. I hope they step forth once again to testify better than I can.

GIMP is free too and thought of as a replacement for PhotoShop without the price. http://www.gimp.org/
Paint.Net is also free and another replacement. http://www.getpaint.net/
20 of the best are found here http://goo.gl/taHMT

I found a Nice book on how to handle Gimp in my library with software included. However I still am determined to learn CS5

Rarely does "good" and "free" come in the same package. Best bang for your buck is Lightroom 2, 3, or 4. Would not consider any of the "free" ones if you are a serious photographer. Lightroom will do 95% of all the necessary retouching and tweaking . . . then for that which it does not do I would have to recommend PS Elements 10, unless you have lots of dough and want to go for the best which would be Photoshop.

I have down loaded some of the free stuff.
I am willing to pay several hundred dollars.
I saw a video of Photoshop. You can do some really amazing stuff with it. The demo was a horse & editing the maine & tail. Very tricky. I'm not a penny wise pound foolish guy. You really do get what you pay for.

If you are willing to pay, Photoshop CS5.5, probably cheaper now that CS6 has arrived, it's simply, Phenomenal, and you can learn through tutorials on YouTube.
But Photoscape is good too, especially as it's free.

I bought PSE 10 and then Lightroom 4.1. Lightroom is my goto program because it's really easy and pretty powerful. Then I use PSE 10 when I need increased control over my edits.

PaintShop Pro X4. It runs about $49 right now and does almost everything you'd ever want to do.
