[Mayndi]

Does anyone know what the best editing software is out there and where I can find it? Thanks!

Hey Mayndi, don't be upset when this gets moved to a more appropriate forum where it will get a better response.

Maybe Accessories or Digital Darkroom Gear.

mayndi, in photography there's very little that's "best." what you'll find, is that people gravitate to a few tried and true products.

lower budget:

adobe photoshop elements and corel paintshop pro, both well under $100.

adobe has more users and is the market leader - but paintshop pro has many fans, and is an excellent program.

most folks that use anything other than these two programs use full adobe photoshop cs, which can be a bit pricey if you're a first time buyer. but, it's the gold standard for photo editing.

of course, there's the gimp, also, a freeware program that has its' own following.

you can search dgrin on any of these, and also visit their websites by googling.

once you've done some research, come back to us with specific questions, and you'll find that we can help you better :deal good luck!
