The Best Imaging Software via a Scanner What software is the best, easiest, most user-friendly, and all-around top-of-the-range product for scanning photographs and creating pictures from still camera images? I am currently using Ulead Photo Express 2.0 which is just okay. It is confusing when trying to locate files. Any ideas?

Two software packages stand out from when I realized something more sophisticated was needed for my web images. Following are my opinions about them: 1. PhotoShop: Underlying philosophy of user interface and methods are "graphic arts" but it is perhaps the most sophisticated and by far the most popular. There is a learning curve to using some of the powerful tools in it. 2. Picture Window: By Digital Light & Color, the underlying philosophy of user interface and methods are traditional darkroom work and it is very nearly as sophisticated. The learning curve is eased by default settings that work very, very well. This allows the end user to ease into more sophisticated image manipulation as experience is gained. -- John

Sean, I also have PhotoShop, but as John mentioned, there is a long learning curve. My primary software is PhotoSuite from MGI. I currently have versions 4.0 Platinum and 8.0 (which mimics PhotoShop at a much lower price). I find PhotoSuite to to nearly everything I need and want it to do with my photos. It is more of an intuitive program than PhotoShop and can be used easily right out of the shoot. It scans, edits, touches up, organizes and prints your photos (plus much much more). I like being able to print out "photo package" sheets with a variety of print sizes. I take hundreds of digital and standard photos every week, and I heavily rely on PhotoSuite, much moreso than PhotoShop. I'd be happy to provide some examples if you're interested. --Jennifer D
