Photoshop IS pricey, but the "Elements" series is pretty good and not too expensive. It lacks some of the high end features of the full Photoshop, but those aren't things most people end up needing (stuff like CMYK, for example). Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 plus Adobe Premiere Elements appears to be going for around US$150 at the Adobe site, but it may be found elsewhere for less if you shop around (I dunno, I haven't looked around much ;)). bonni
