    What is a good editing software for an amateur?

    I just bought the S90 and housing and it should be in 2 weeks from now. Now, to edit the raw images, which is the best software to purchase? I am not computer stupid, but at the same time I have never used a photoshop type program other than GIMP for minor photo adjustments.

    Tight budget, but still want an UW camera!!!

    I need a camera that is good on land and okay under water. My wife bought me the Sealife DC1000, but the land pictures are horrible! Sent it back. After more research I have decided on the Canon S90. I'll probably get the Canon housing, but I am really trying to avoid the strobe. After...

    Just made my first purchase!!!

    I'm going to do a pool dive with my wife next week to brush up her old skills. She hasn't dove in about 1.5 years.

    Lower end fins/mask/snorkel adequate?

    Last year before I even thought of diving, my brother bought me a US-divers mask, snorkel, and fins. Now, when he gave them to me I thought they were great and when I would do some free diving in the Caribbean down to 20-25 feet, it all worked great. After being on here, I haven't read much...
