Software you can't do without.

I am off on holiday soon and I am looking for some photo editing programs to add to my laptop. My plans are to spend the nights messing around editing photos

So what programs do you recommend? I already have CS2.

Re: Software you can't do without.

It's dead easy once you plod through a few tutorials.

It does everything it says on the tin and more!

I'd recommend you stick with it and play, play and play somemore

Re: Software you can't do without.

I agree with Manguish - CS2 is the bomb!

Perhaps download a load of tutorials and take them with you? If you'll have a web connection you can get them whilst you're there.

Some of the most useful tools you'll use for photographs is, levels, crop, sharpening (for when pics are reduced in size), sometimes hue/saturation, and the clone stamp tool. These are not really used to drastically change a photo, just help it get closer to what you wanted.

For more drastic changes, then the CS2 world is your oyster
