I would recommend one of the following programs, all costing under $100.  Which you choose will depend on how you expect to use it.  All four programs have free trials you can download and use for 30 days, so I would suggest doing so, to see which best suits your needs and personal style.\n\nAdobe Photoshop Elements 5 at http://www.adobe.com\nCorel Paint Shop Pro XI and\nCorel Painter Essentials 3  both at http://www.corel.com\nPhotoImpact 11 at http://www.ulead.com/pi/runme.htm\n\nOf the above, Paint Shop Pro will be most like Photoshop in potential and capability, but it may not be the one that most suits your own needs.\n\n\nThere are a number of free programs available, but none will be as capable as the above programs.  However, they might do what you need to, depending on what that is.  Linked below are several of the free programs available.\n\nhttp://wang.zhenzhou.googlepages.com/\nhttp://www.photobie.com/\nhttp://picasa.google.com/index.html\nhttp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PaintNET/1096481993/1\nhttp://www.plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241\nhttp://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/\nhttp://www.photofiltre.com\nhttp://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Project_Dogwaffle/dogwaffle.html

Yeah, picking hardware can be confusing.\n\nYour basic config seems OK, but based on the tasks you say you want to accomplish:\n\n- 80 Gb HD or better, mp3s can take up a lot of space. Depends how much mp3s really.\n- 1024 Mb system memory or possibly even 2 Gb if you have the cash to spare, this will really help with photoshop.\n\nthe rest sounds fine.

Photoshop - it's not specific for this but it does a fantastic job of it. Plus you can do lots of other cool stuff with it.

My own experience with Photoshop on multiprocessor machines has been very positive. While I don't have actual numbers from my own tests, you can look at these Photoshop/Dual Core articles and benchmarks:\n\nFirst source: "Adobe Photoshop CS is a graphic artist's übertool: Hardly any graphic art work can get done without it. We tested the Opteron whitebox with Photoshop CS, and it shows some improvement over the already speedy Pentium EE 840. Out of the eight filters, the Opteron wins three of the tests, and on the others is only a second behind. The Pentium EE 840 took 2.5 times longer to complete the wave filter which skews the results, but excluding that time, the results are nearly identical overall. Both the dual-core Pentium EE 840 and dual-core, dual-CPU Opteron workstations are formidable PhotoShop platforms, and both would service a graphic artist well."\n\nSee the benchmarks on this first source's link.\n\nSecond source: "There is no doubt that a program like Photoshop will be much faster on a dual core system than its single core counterpart. The majority of operating systems do recognize and support at least two processors. There is some load balancing of non-SMP applications but not as efficiently as those written for multithreading."

Isn't that what photoshop Elements was supposed to be?  A low cost version < $200.

I agree that Gimp is equivalent to Photoshop.\nIf you need Photoshop, why dont you download the trial version??\nhttps://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop&loc=en\nYou will be able to use the software for about 1 month and by then you can decide whether you want to buy it, replace it with a freeware programme or whatever

Paintshop pro is pretty good, but really, Photoshop IS THE photo editor for professionals.

They use programs like photoshop. If you would like to try it on one of your pictures then use GIMP it's free. Photoshop cost about $600.00 new. \n\nhttp://gimp.org

I would agree with that but if you don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a photo editing suite then I would suggest you take a look at the open source and completely free GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which has many of the same features as PhotoShop, you can find the details over here, http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/

It depends on what you want to do -- art or photography. I use PS to adjust my photographs and so Elements is all I need. But, if you're doing artwork, you'll want the full-blown CS version. (Expensive!!)

I'm sorry to say you will not get any offers to make illegal copies of software and send them to you. We all want you to have a happy and blessed life but none of us want to go to prison for copyright violation.\n\nBy the way, Mac and Windows versions of Flash and Photoshop are about the same price. If you are skilled in using Final Cut Pro (about $1,000) for professional video editing, you surely will get a very high paying job soon such as at a TV studio or advertising company.
