Which software should I buy? I was wondering which software I should buy to edit my photos. I need something that has all the special effects and things like that to make my photos look unique but professional at the same time, mainly wedding photos. I also need something to where I can make different photo packages and cds for my customers. Does anyone know which software will cover this?

Don't buy. Use FREEWARE from this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster_graphics_editors Or use an online editor like Snipshot or Photoshop Express: http://snipshot.com/ https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html Have fun!

You can't go wrong with Photoshop Elements. I think version 6 is the latest...and it's $75 or so, maybe cheaper.

Elements is a fine program but, you'll need Premier Elements if you want to make DVD capable of TV viewing. Adobe continues to withhold Curves from the Photoshop Elements programs. It's the major difference between Elements and the full Photoshop programs. Most of us will never need/use all the tools in Photoshop, however. I still use Elements 1.0 and 4.0, though I have/use CS2. Elements 1.0 makes borders easy and is a program that most of the members of my Camera Club have - hence, I use it in our teaching workshops. Elements 4.0 allows you to scan sevral prints at once, thereby saving time. A tool for "splitting up the individual pictures" exists and works well. I have found that tool in CS2.

Corel Paint Shop Pro Studio X2 is SO much user friendly (and less expensive!)

Ok well when I tried downloading picasa it took forever...so I just gave up on it but I guess Ill try it again. Now Christy, I see your photo and I was wondering if the program you mentioned help you do that kind of special effects and if that is a wedding photo or just one you took.
