Can anyone recommend any photo editing software for the pc?

Thanks

Have you tried Adobe Photoshop? It's pretty good

Ulead's PhotoImpact will do much the same as Photoshop but without the heavy price tag.

Check out www.ulead.com. They have several good bits of software that can help with photos and web based graphics. Downloadable trial versions are available of most of their stuff.

If you have plenty of money, plenty of RAM and plenty of time to learn how to use it, Adobe Photoshop is unequalled -- but it's one serious piece of software. If you can stomach a 42Mb download, you can get a 'tryout' version from http://www.adobe.com/

Paint Shop Pro is a popular and cheaper alternative. Evaluation version (a mere 32Mb) at http://www.jasc.com/

This tool -- Corel PhotoPaint -- is about as featureful as Photoshop but less expensive...

See

Corel's Web Page for Photo-Paint

I found this to be affordable and easy to pick up. The box lists www.mgisoft.com as the company URL but I picked up the software at Best Buy for less than $20 after rebate.

Happy editing

Check out photoshop Elements, very powerfull program not just a waterdown version of Photoshop like Photoshop LE 5.0 was. Should be avalible for $99 or less, I got mine for $69. ($30 rebate)

Paint Shop Pro is quite good. Its earlier versions where one the best photo editors and they occpuied only the size of a floppy disk!
If you want something that makes quite a good job with almost no headaches, you may try Photogenetics. It's an iterative program. In each iteration you choose if it was better or worse than the previous one. You'll be surprised how easy and fast you improve your images. True also in UW images when you want to revive the hot colors that were filtered out by the unfriendly water.
Try this link, or just search the web for photogenetics:

Photoshop is great, but why you don't need a heavy cannon to hunt a fly...

Another "must have" is IrfanView. It's ~600Kb but extremely powerful: http://www.irfanview.com/ You can add to it lots of filters and plugins.

Enjoy!

Adobe Lightroom Beta will do most of what you will need. Photoshop Elements can fill in the rest.

If you don't want to pay big bucks there's always Gimp. It's open source and does pretty decent job.
