Thanks Kirk. I'll take a look.

Gimp? I had never heard of it and have only been using iPhoto for anything Ive done so far. So after you all have educated me, I downloaded this Gimp. Looks complicated and confusing...but oh! The possibilities!

Complex and confusing, but also powerful and flexible. Photoshop is the gold standard, right now. However, Adobe seems to be attempting to generate more revenue from Photoshop by introducing a 'subscription' to the software, for more than it would cost to buy Photoshop alone. If you buy the entire suite of image tools (Illustrator, Premiere) you pay less for the subscription, but I'm just a still photographer. Photoshop is also becoming bloated and requires a great deal of expensive computer to run it fast. The programmers have included a LOT of extra tools, such as 3D image processing and video processing, since newer DSLRs can take 720p or 1080p video. I don't need nor want those abilities. Gimp is free... and while it is not nearly as powerful as Photoshop, it does nearly everything that Photoshop can do, for no money and about the same learning curve. Having typed ALL that, iPhoto is a very good software to learn how to develop your camera images into excellent prints. Learn the basics, learn the rules of photography, understand the language we all use, and you'll be surprised how fast your skills develop. I used to recommend Photoshop to everyone, even beginners, since it can be used by beginners to experts. Now, I recommend people stay with their starting image editing software til they find that it is limiting them, just like a camera... when the camera is holding you back, it's time to get a better one.

Even this version of GIMP does not support 16 bit editing. That is a real pity. With best regards PRSS

I'm happy to use either but for more complex tasks I definitely feel more competent in PS CS6. However if they were to get Actions into GIMP in a serious way like in Photoshop it would make the transition easier. I fear that the current plethora of scripts, code and other offerings in GIMPS is too confusing unless you are a geek (or even if you are one)!
