I second Photoshop Elements, very capable software with plenty of third
party help in the form of books and on-line user groups.

And to Ken Lucke who is mystified as to why someone with a computer
would use a Webtv terminal to access Usenet, can't speak for the OP, but
I use it because it works just fine (for 10 years now) for casual
newsgroup access, and it's free on the plan that I have, don't have to
pay anything extra for Usenet access.

You can buy PhotoShop Elements 5 for $54, that's what I ordered.

I have Photoshop LE and PaintShopPro. Photoshop, even the LE version, has
a few more features than PSP, but I use PSP 99% of the time for editing
stills. PSP feels like other Windows apps, while Photoshop feels like it
was written for Unix and minimally converted to Windows. Also, PSP starts
up
*much* faster than Photoshop on my 3GHz 1GB dual-HD PC, in spite of 1-2
hours
spent tuning Photoshop.

I think that if I was editing video, or editing stills 5-10 hours per day,
I'd
probably go with Photoshop. But for my personal, 5-10 hours per month
usage,
I vote for PSP.

I give a vote for Paintshop Pro. I downloaded the PSP XI trial and bought it
a few days later. I upgraded from PSP 7 for $54. I have not used other
programs and can't compare, but this software seems to offer a lot for the
$$, such as RAW read capable, Purple and chromatic fringe removal, lens
distortion correction and a digital camera noise reduction among a tons of
other features. I like the tunable smart photo fix.

If you see it in the store at $100, get it online from Corel's website for
$79 or $54 if upgrading.

From just a quick look up of Photoshop Elements 5.0 & Paint Shop Pro Xl
those seem to be what Im looking for instead of my previous askings. In
some local ads they both are $70 right now
Is one of these any more user friendly than the other or just personal
preference?
Which one would work better with my computer--1400mhz,512ram 80g hd.
Thanks all for pointing me in a better direction.

If you have no future need for upgrading your program, go with either.
If you think you might need the possibility of more power and tools at
a later date and time, go with PSE, as you will already be partway on
the learning curve that you would need to move up to Photoshop. No
sense in wasting learning by starting from scratch :^)

Please post your emotions here a little bit later after you get it, ok?

Thanks,

A good option for most users. About 90% of the power of PS for 10% of
the price!

Btw,

I went to Adobe.com for my personal curiosity and found that a new version
is $100 and upgrade from any previous one is $80. How is possible to get
this version 5 for $54? I need that for my kids and I'm just wondering where
is the trick with $54?

Thanks Ron!
