Define reasonable... ??
Paint Shop Pro has about the most features for the buck. Windows only, though. |

I don't know, it really doesn't matter. Under $200.00. But if the product is really worth it, I will spend the money.

May want to try GIMP.
It's freeware and pretty highly rated on this site for it's functionality.

Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop Elements.
Gimp is free, but not so easy to use.

| Back to what I was going to say, Photoshop Elements is really straightforward, and very intuitive. I tried the GIMP, but couldn't get to grips with it. I am toying with upgrading to Photoshop CS3 later this year, but not sure how easy it is for a techno-idiot like me to make the transfer - perhaps I would be better putting the money towards a new lens.... |

I use Macromedia Fireworks. I'm sure it isn't the best program out there, but because I have got used to its controls, I can do everything I need to relatively quickly. Takes a bit of getting used to though.

I don't use Paint Shop-11 Photo, since I upgraded to PhotoShop PS-2 Production Suite. I have used Paint Shop versions from version 3 to 8. they do almost all that Photoshop does, some more intuitively/user-friendly. I upgraded to Paint Shop Pro 11 Photo for about $49 and got a free black T-Shirt that says "Creative, Yet Logical". I also liked their "photography Timeline" filters.
PS2's tools seem more precise in handling, but I miss zooming in/out with the mouse wheel. |

| Nikon Capture NX. Though you would have to move back and forth between file formats to get the most. Truly stellar software for $139 |

| I've used Photoshop Elements for the past 2 years and liked it alot! I've also used GIMP to some degree to do things that can't be done in Elements, but I find it much more difficult to use. Microsoft Picture It is also pretty decent. After using the trial version of CS2 for a month, I fell in love with it (can one fall in love with a software program??? ;)) and ordered it last week. I think it really depends on what you want to do with your photos and how involved you want to get in editing/post-processing. |

I have played with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, and I have to say Paint Shop Pro is a lot easier to use and to figure out without reading instructions.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 is under 60 bucks and whatever the actual price is tfor the exact same price you can get Ulead Photoimpact 11.
Paint.NET is free and capable, very plugin minded. I use it on ocasion as far as the software goes its where its at. But it lacks alot of filters that Photoshop has. It also lacks Photoshop/Elements selection tool options for aspect ratio and fixed size that Ulead also lacks. |

| I use Bibble for batch raw processing (Nikon Capture NX for individual) and I love it. It's fast and does a great job. It even has Noise Ninja built right into it. |
