I'm a great fan of pp as you can most probably tell by my efforts shown on the gallery, i don't have PS but use other editing software, my opinion is that as long as you have taken a reasonably decent shot in the first place, the worlds your Oyster when it comes to editing and can produce some stunning images, when it comes to photography competitions i think it should be stated categorically just how much or how little photo editing is allowed.

Giulio is a wonderful photographer and one of the most unselfish members on the forum, his comments and kindness have helped me from the very start and given me and other members encouragement, a fitting tribute that Shaun has started

Hi and welcome Greg, Picasa an PicMonkey are both free and easy to download, more importantly they are so easy to use

I can't now i've been using with it, but i do have a two year warranty

Oh i'm quite gutted, my Husband has just bought me a K5 for Christmas from Amazon we could have saved £40.00 at SRS, oh well it's arrived now and seems to be in good working order, thank you John for the link to this site
