However, for all those ones who are not comforteable with Photoshop etc., this is a free piece of software for basic photo editing. In addition, altough the advanced features need the Deluxe version, the free one has still got some nice adds-on like frames, draw/text adding and different templates to play with your photos that may come in handy over the next holidays:) Their Deluxe, Creative and Media editions provide a wide selection of advanced and creative tools (check out the scrapbooking:) , but with a very low learning curve compared to other software. For PC only. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I need all the help I can get and the more basic, the better. lol Thanks! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Adobe allow 30 day free trials which I think is a very good idea. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I think the Elements 7 is very good value, but I'm still tinkering with Lightroom as I have a few more days left on the trial but I'll probably just stick with Photoshop CS3 as it copes with my Nikon D70 & D300. Not in the market for a new camera as the D300 is for me anyway "the bee's knees". Edited by: Rod Burkey at:11th March 2009 16:57 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
