re: #217 CuriousLurker
I agree with ggt that Photoshop Elements is probably all you need. I snapped up a copy of it dirt cheap a couple of days ago to use on my MacBook (because my copy of Creative Suite 5.5 is for Windows).
Anyway, when I was contemplating whether or not to buy it, I found this very good review that not only explains everything it does, but also the differences between it and the full version of Photoshop.
Hope that helps.
I think I got that same deal on Elements thru Apple. Came in the mail yesterday. I’m going to go ahead and install it so I can use it for xmas pictures, but wrap the empty box up and put it under the tree. It’s supposed to be one of my presents :)
