I have always loved to take pictures but i am not very creative at it so I am going to try to better and try differant things.. |

Its easy to get used to, and can be used just to crop adjust contrast brightness or remove dirt spots etc... right through to really playing with the image, its very versatile. |

I only hope I get the opportunity to get more pics I can post here. I'm almost out of pics to submit. I got a new camera for Christmas - a huge upgrade from my old camera, and what I'm finding is the best way to learn is to take it out and snap away. Make a day of it. Get a large disk that will hold many photos and maybe some long lasting lithium batteries. The more you practice, the better you'll become. |

When you first run it, it will go through all your photos and index them and automatically add new ones you take. You can download it here http://picasa.google.co.uk/ Photoshop Elements 7 that Jason suggested is for purchasing, though for what you get for your money will give you a lot of creativity to work with if you wanted, though Picasa will do a lot of what you're probably looking for initially.
