Hi Wendy and WELCOME
What type of programs do you use now, if any?
You will get a lot of comments on programs, they are all good! But you have your die hard fans that love their own programs, like me!!
It really just boils down to what you learn in a program, what makes it rock for you. PSP9 is great for digital photo restoration and clean up, it has Digital Camera Noise Removal which is a huge bonus and it works great once you get good at it!!
I just posted a one sided comment on another post and I don't dare do it again....
totally brand new, software question?
I do own PSE3 also, I just have used PSP longer so it makes more sense to me and I can do things in it quicker then I can PSE3...
