check out photoscape. very slick and easy to use and has some videos showing how to use functions.

there is also Gimp, which is similar to PS,but has a steep learning curve.

I am sure others will pop in with their favorites.

You could also start with the basic program that came with your camera. Then when you out grow that look for something else.

Give it a try , check out the videos, they are very helpful for beginners.

You could go to the manufactors site and download the software, usually you just need the serial number.

Regardless, have fun.

GIMP is a free download and is as good as Photoshop a few versions ago. It has an online tutorial systems.

Subscribe to the Kim Kommando show. She will post freebies in every catagorey daily. She has about 4 different catagories to receive daily. Some very good, some so so.

Go to ManualsInk.com, that's where I ordered one for my camera, but they are 11x8 1/2. I think I paid about $14.00
