Hi Mate,

We’ve got CS2 as my wife is a designer and I’m always toying with images. My advice would be to get the full monty and just teach yourself by trial and error. Most features are simple to use and it will bring a completely new side to your digital images – the features, filters, and effects are endless.

Just start with Picassa from Google - it's free matey. There's loads of features on there to enhance your pic's and re size etc, then take it from there if you feel you need to

An offical copy of photoshop will set you back in the region of £600 for a personal copy and much more for a professional/work use one. That is of course if you actaully buy it. I am yet to meet one person who has actaully purchased a copy, either torrents, kazaa or a copy from a mate.
Very good program, easy to learn the basics, much harder to get very good with it.

sorry lads but we can't be seen to be encouraging software piracy theres enough info on here to help track down a copy and i'm drawing the line at that
