The plethora of editing software - some expensive, some free - has me stymied. I would like to get beyond Picasa (especially since it's no longer supported) but I don't know where to go. I'm not rich so would like something free or cheap. If I could learn one or the other or both, I would go with PS/LR. My confusion is when I see how people talk about doing this or that in PS then moving it to LR and doing this or that there and then moving it to some other editing software to do something else before being done with it. Why can't everything be done in one program? Why use so many? Is there a reason that some particular software is unacceptable? Does anyone have a recommendation for affordable, simple, thorough software that a simpleton like me can learn to fly? Thanks (and would appreciate not being bashed for being a dunderhead)!

I am a senior citizen and have been using PS Elements for several years ( PSE 14 now). It will do every thing that I need and is on sale most of the time for less than $50.00. I tried Photoshop cc with a monthly subscription. It is a great program and will do more than you will ever need but the difficulty of learning all those features that I will not use and the never ending updates and ten bucks a month that is difficult to end makes me happy with elements. Costco has elements 15 on sale for $38.00 right now. bud
