Looking at some of ya'lls black and white pictures made me wonder what software you have to edit your pictures. I love the black and white pictures with a touch of color.

I've looked into getting Photoshop, but don't want to get it if it's not worth the money. It's a lot of money to spend if it's to complicated to even use. KWIM?

TIA -

I haven't posted any of my photos, but I use Photoshop Elements 3. Their website had a free 30 day trial. I checked out a book from the library by Scott Kelby that made using the software seem easy -- step by step, the way I like it. It convinced me to buy the software as well as Scott Kelby's book.

I use Photoshop CS2. It takes awhile to figure out, but it's most sincerely awesome.

Photoshop elements, on their website, costs $84.99 but I'm sure you can find it at Wal-mart, Best Buy or other stores for less. Ebay sellers have it for sale for much less. When I bought mine, I bought a bundle Photoshop Elements (for photos) and Primier Elements (for home movies). Together it cost $99 on sale.

A fun photo website that can answer lots of your questions is betterphoto.com I love that site.

I use PaintShopPro (PSP). It's a lot cheaper than Photoshop, and does a lot of the same things. You can do that black and white with color, too. It's really easy (IMO) to use! There are lots of online tutorials, too. It just takes some practice. But you can get it for $70 or get it from Ebay for cheaper.
