I am currently using a program I downloaded for free from Kodak. This was after days of trying to get 2 different programs to work with no luck. I had Kai's Soap and I couldn't get anything to print at all. I had Ulead and that was so unstable it would lock up anytime I adjusted the saturation. The software that came with my camera sucks too!
I don't need anything extremely advanced (well, not yet anyway!) and would like something that has a reasonable price. I can retty much do what I need to do with the Kodak program and Photo Suite combined, but I would prefer using one program rather than 2. My OS is Windows 98.
Thanks for your help!

I suggest Adobe Photoshop Elements. You can download a free trial version from Adobe's website. The cost on this program is about $89 or so... Money well spent, in my opinion...

You could try Photoshop Elements... it will let you do everything you need to do for photos here on DPChallenge and then some. Version 1.0 is a wee-bit older, but priced right at about $25 after rebate at Amazon.com. Version 2.0 is a bit pricier, but still a good deal at about $70.
Another option is the GIMP. It's not meant to be a full-blown Photoshop replacement, but it has a lot of features. Best of all, it's free! It is still a bit buggy, but the price can't be beat. You can download the Windows version HERE.

I used to use PaintShop Pro a lot (by Jasc) but now I use Photoshop (which I could justify buying on work grounds).
Has anyone got more recent experience with PaintShop Pro to know whether it's useful and can compete with others in its price range these days?

I use Photoshop 7, but it's likely more complex (and much more expensive) than most people would need. I have used Paint Shop Pro, and it seems like the newer versions of it give you practically as much flexibility as Photoshop at a small fraction of the price. PSP is definitely worth looking into.

I also use PaintShop Pro. It is simple to do the basics like crop and rotate. It also has all the fun stuff to do like adjusting colors and brightness and contrast and sharpening. I don't know much about them. I have hardly ever touched them. I shoot, rotate, crop, and submit pics here. Plus it also has LOTS of tools I know nothing about.
PSP is cheap and it does more than I know how to do. I've been told Photoshop Elements is very similar.

I think that I am the only one here who uses Microsoft Picture it 2000. I love it and wouldn't trade it in for anything else. It is easy to use. Pictureit2002

I hear nothing but good about PS Elements. My personal choice is Corel PhotoPaint, which I am endeared to because of the flexibility and features. It is very much like PhotoPaint, but without the high cost.

PaintShop Pro is very nice... the latest 7.x series does an excellent job with photo manipulation. One of it's many tool palettes, is a photography palette. Best of all, the evaluation version will run for 60 days (even though it says 30). I also use it for graphic design work and its well worth the few bucks Jasc asks for it.
