Adobe Photoshop is the holy grail of image editing software.    You are probably excited about learning to edit your photos.  Most likely you are not excited about shelling out the $600+ to buy the full latest version.  Luckily, you have some other options as a beginner.  Here are a few:

Student Software - If you are a student you can buy software at discounted prices.  Just google ’student software’. You should be able to find Photoshop CS4 for around $200.  A savings of $400.  Not too bad.  You can also find Photoshop Elements (A more basic version) for around $70.

Free Online Image editors -  Free is always a good option, and most of the features should be sufficient for the amateur.  Try them out and you can always choose something more powerful like Photoshop later.  Here’s a link to 10 Free Web-based Alternative to Photoshop.

Free Offline Image Editor - You may also enjoy using GIMP, an open source program very similar to Photoshop.  You can find it at gimp.org This program is surprisingly powerful, considering the surprising price of $0.00

So take the plunge. Get your feet wet in image editing and try some of these free or low cost image editors: Your photos will thank you, and when you’re done let me know what you think of them.  I’d love to hear from you.  Happy Image Editing.
