With most digi cameras now there is an ideal opportunity to enhance, crop, change colour etc with the aid of your PC and some free or relatively cheap software.
Many cameras come with their own software - how many of you have loaded this to your system and looked at what you can achieve ? most come with an auto enhance, stitching to make those panoramas, cropping - Take a look
I use Photo-Shop Elements 10 its a relatively cheap licensed program at just £50.00 and extremely powerful to achieve very professional look for the serious amateur.

Photo shop elements 7 here. Did 'test' version 9 but that version was dodgy so stuck to 7 for the moment.
PSE is brilliant for adding blue skies, cropping and lightening really quickly amongst a huge array of other things.

I use, when i can be bothered, Paint Shop Pro on PC's. Aperture on the Macs.
PSE is a really good program and is to be recommended.
Nikon software is usually rubbish but a program that allows manipulation of Raw is useful for the serious manipulator.
Personaly I don't mess with pictures, get bored fiddling, trust to serendipity to get a good one.

I have Paint Shop Pro and mostly use it for resizing photos as it's the only software I have that does that.
Software that came with both my Cybershot and the Canon are total rubbish!
I use Picasa and that has a lot of editing capabilities, but not as good as PSP. I used PSP a lot when I was scanning in very old photos and wanted to reduce the noise from pics that were up to 80 years old.
But Picasa is also for uploading to the internet on Picasaweb either as private or public or limited albums, for uploading to Blogger, for copying over onto forums like here, and is part and parcel with Google+ where I do photo sharing every day. (That's why I am not on forums or facebook much any more - have got lost there in the world of bugs and macro photography etc).

Just had a wander down the track with little dog, stopped raining, had an iPhone in my pocket so just took a couple of panoramic shots. A app I downloaded a while ago but not used. Attachments:

Forgot to attach piccie ...... ooppps
The App i used is just to enable panoramic shots, and stitching in camera. Heard that snapseed is good, but is it an in camera editing program. Not used it so ignorant here Wibble.

The cd that came free with my camera was rubbish and more of a categoriser than a modifier so I looked on the net and read reviews on free software to download. I came to the conclusion that GIMP is the one I'd give a try out and OMG, it's seems so complicated and may be over comprehensive for me, i'll have to study it and play around to really give an informed opinion. Anyone have experience with this programme?
