Hi all,
I am trying to find a good photo editing program. I do not know what I need to look for. Can anybody tell me what are some really good programs?

I can recommend The Gimp, an free opensource Photoshop equivalent. http://www.gimp.org/

For basic functions Google's Picasa is always great, and free.

For me Paint.NET is a must have...
It's easy to use, localized, opensource...

Hi,

My favorite for effects is Image Photo. Awesome for effects.
I have Image Photo, it better than other software. Imagic Photo is a revolutionary new digital image and photo enhancement software that turns your pictures into stunning, professional, straight out of a glamour magazine look.

Utilizing a specially advanced image processing technique, Imagic Photo transforms your ordinary, dull, flat looking photos into detailed, rich, glowing, beautiful images!

Imagic Photo 'knows' where bodily contour, shadows, and highlights should be. It knows where to apply and enhance correct skin and hair color, while replacing and adding definition to shape and tones that often gets lost during original image processing techniques.

No more confusing color, contrast, saturation, layers, levels, or adjustments to deal with.. Just open your pic, push a button, and your done..
Good Luck!

Use Photoshop, thats good for all image editing.

Photoshop is a professional software. It can be hard to learn how to use it when we begin. It's the most powerful, and one of the most expensive photo editing software...
