I was, until recently, using photoshop elements 4 but I seem to have mislaid the disk - as tends to happen just after I format my hard drive.
But no problem, I guess photo editing software has come on in leaps and bounds since then.
So which software do people recommend?

I'm really only thinking about using it for general stuff (like some of the requests we often see on here & maybe printing my own money, doctoring passports - you know, general stuff :devil.
I don't really want to spend a fortune on it either as it's not going to be earning anything.

GIMP is free http://www.gimp.org/ and alot like photoshop

or something iv been playing with recently is
www.sumopaint.com its an online application and quite impressive but i get annoyed with it easily
