My favorite editing software for digital images: what's yours?

PS CS and I use a full 10% of its capabilities

Photoshop 7, Elements 3 and CorelDRAW! 11. For normal photo work, E3. For more serious graphics, a combination of CD and PS. I've used CorelDRAW! since v3 and PS since v4. There used to be a significant Corel community but that has pretty well dried up. I used Corel Photopaint for years and struggled. Corel fans always said " you can do anything in PP that you can do in PS". That may be true, but PP is a pain. That probably goes for PSP.

I have been a paint shop pro user for a very long time. V8 and V9 are getting a bit large and cumbersome, but it is still a good program.

"DCE Autoenhance (http://www.mediachance​.com/dce/index.html) - a low cost batch image "enhancer" that really adds "pop and wow" to your files."

I wouldn't be without Autoenhance but have some difficulty with Colorcast Removal. The Automatic White Balance mode rarely works and when using manual the type of colourcast tends to swing from one color to another -is this just my clumsiness?

I have found though,that if I use Auto White Balance several times in sequence it sometimes produces a result.

Have you had any problems like this?

I just use the color enhancing and simulated filters from the colorcast removal section -- both functions seem to work well for my needs.

Easy PERSPECTIVE CORRECTION with Paint Shop Pro 9

I recently shot some pictures of a reception with my G6. Taking a photo of a large glossy foam sign-in board seemed like a real challenge. Well.... I took the shot at an angle to avoid flash glare and ended up with a distorted image. At home, I imported the picture into PSP 9, placed the corners of the perspective correction around the image and voila -- got the finished image you see in

I'm sure you could use a transform function in PS and other programs -- but the function in PSP9, for me who is Adobe PS7 challenged, is very easy to use and straight-forward.

When I take pictures of tall buildings and images with windows, this function is very handy to have to correct distortion.
