Over the past decade, Adobe Photoshop has been the number one imaging software for photographers of all levels from beginners to professionals. Today the range of digital imaging software for photographers is vast and some of the most popular products include
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
,
Adobe Photoshop Elements
,
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo,
GIMP,
Serif PhotoPlus
,
Ulead PhotoImpact,
ACDSee Photo Manager
and many others.
For most photographers who may only use digital imaging software for basic manipulation, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is unnecessary and costly. With this in mind Adobe produced Photoshop Elements which is a fraction of the price of Adobe Photoshop CS5 but has all the main editing features required by most photographers.
