I am currently using paintshop pro. I do not at all higly suggest it...it is old school and is missing a lot of tools and the ones it has are kinda hard to use...but I could not seem to download and run Gimp since my operating system is Linux. Not sure if I would run into the same issue with Photoshop?
But I would sure like to upgrade. I see so many photoshop tutorials here on Deviant and "brushes" for photoshop. I will admit though I do not actually know which photoshop prgram can use the brushes or how to use them, but it has peaked my interest. I have gotten a lot of criticism lately that my photos appears unedited and washed out and so maybe it is time to invest or try to make Gimp run somehow?

I use Lightroom 3 to convert my RAW images to JPEGS and to fix any minor flaws or cropping. Oh, and CS5 to add my watermark.

iPhoto. But I got into picmonkey.com recently, they're really awesome.

Photoshop cost a few hundred $$$ which is not readily available to me. So I downloaded a free app called GIMP.

Everything begins by being loaded into Lightroom 4. In fact, I'm able to take care of about 70% of my photos without ever having to leave LR. The remainder that require more fine-tuning are edited in Photoshop CS5.

Periodically I'll also let Picasa index all my new images because it can be faster than LR at giving me a high-level view of my photo library.

Photoshop Cs5 and Camera Raw

I've recently started playing with Gimp because my free trial of Photoshop expired and I can't afford to buy it!

Gimp seems to work well and does most of the same things PS does as far as I can tell.

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I mainly straighten out photos, edit the contrast and enhance the colours slightly if they're washed out, so that's all I basically need. That and I can't afford Photoshop yet.
