Which Digital Image Editing Software is the Absolute Best?

Find a software application that is perfect for your needs!

Software for photo editing comes in many sizes and shapes.

While you can do image editing in even the free editing applications such as GIMP, Picnik (see the example at the right), or Picasa, as you might guess, the more you invest, the more editing options will be available. But the online editing options are becoming more powerful and plentiful.

For over-all value - a bunch of power in a very inexpensive software application - for a mere $79, Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 cannot be beat. It has many of the image editing features that are available in the much more expensive Photoshop.

Next best value is Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. The name Photoshop carries a lot of weight in the photography image editing world.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 7
Make ordinary photos extraordinary, tell amazing stories with them, and share them virtually everywhere. Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7 software combines power and simplicity so it’s easier than ever to quickly fix photo flaws, add incredible effects, and create perfect photo composites. Tell your stories in scrapbook pages, photo books, and interactive web galleries. And find and view all your photos with ease.


Another powerful image editing program is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. This application has been developed by Adobe with the help and cooperation of professional photographers in order to get the very best photo editing capablilities that are important to photographers.

Finally, the epitome of software editing programs is Adobe Photoshop CS4. Photoshop does not come with a small price tag, but it is the very best that money can buy.

**Note: You can get any of these software applications as a 30 day trial. It is a great idea to test the program out to see if it meets your needs. ALSO, don't forget to sign up for Total Training - free for one week (you don't get the full program, but you will see how valuable the teaching is).

Finally, if you are a secondary student or a teacher, you may qualify for crazy discounts. Like as much as 70% off these software programs. Follow this link to Adobe software at up to 75% off for students, teachers, and schools! and check it out.
