My god, what a technology nightmare! Good to see you are back

I've got Photoshop 6.0 at home but only use about 5% of its features. I got Photoshop Elements at work as a freebie with a scanner, and it's great. It's a cut-down version of Photoshop but a lot easier to use and has the main features for cropping, editing and saving for the web.

Paintshop Pro is another one that gets good reviews and doesn't cost as much as Photoshop.
