Myself, i use GIMP.
Its legitimately free, does what photoshop, corel, etc. do, and is also open source.
I figured if i was going to learn, id use something i could afford, and free open source software is right in my budget. most functions and features of the other industry leading image editing software are implemented in GIMP, so most tutorials written for other applications, easily apply them selves to GIMP.
As a matter of fact, I created my sig with GIMP, and a few other images in the photohost here at EUS, feel free to take a look at them.
On the other hand, if you arent exactly comfortable with the boxy end of the mouse, you may want to look for a one click photo restorer app that requires less user interaction.
I will look for this as well..I am a big fan of open source software!!.I go to Sourceforge.net....I can usually do things if I take my time and read a little>>>Thanks for the Info..
