After getting into photography a bit this year, I am now tempted to invest in some software to really make some decent pictures.

Saw Corel Paint Shop Pro X4 for £60 in PC World today, is that a decent package for a beginner or are there others I should consider?

Adobe Photoshop all the way

I did see that too but the only versions they had in seemed to be c.£100.

Just downloaded the trial of PSP x4 and it does all look quite confusing. Off to see if Adobe has a trial.

They both have trials. Just try them both out and see which one is easier to use.

I use PSP but the majority of ppl like to use photoshop.

Everyone raves about Photoshop, but in my opinion most people who use it only use the tools that can be found in the cut down and very much cheaper version Elements or indeed PSP.

Paintshop pro have a free version (previous release) and Photoshop also do a free version called elements (I think) which my lad uses.

Downloaded both of them but I am a bit overwhelmed by so many options and buttons! Are there any guides online for some simple tasks I can try on both. So far, all I have done is create a black and white photo and changed the object to colour, which seemed very similar on both.

Lots of guides on internet/youtube how to change alloys/bodykit etc for Photoshop.

I used to use Phaintshop prov when it was version 4 or soemthing like that and free, it's started looking more and more like photoshop so the layout is all much of a muchness... Photoshop is my prefered told though it has to be said and if you want to try a free version photoshop CS6 is available on a 1 year trial so give that a go to get your teeth in to it, learn and then buy it if you really like it

There is also a CS5.1 White Rabbit pre release portable version that has all the functionality and no install
