You can also download 1 month trials of both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements off of Adobe’s website. It give you a chance to see if it’s something you want to invest in. Elements is available at Costco for pretty cheap, less than $100.

Love the bowl of cherries! You did a great job getting that light blue cast out of the white background. That happens a lot to me and I hate it!

If you don’t want to spend a fortune on image editing software there are some good free tools available. Gimp is a very good – and free – editing tool. I have to say that I have not used it myself (I have photoshop) but it’s getting very high points everywhere, so have a go at it (since it’s free anyway!)

I use both Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Lightroom. If you work for an academic institution (or are a college student), you may be able to purchase Adobe products at their academic pricing. I just purchased both of those for significantly less than $100 each.

Maris –
Good photographers know their camera well enough that they don’t have to do a lot of editing afterwards! I still have a ton to learn, which is why Photoshop comes in handy for improving my photos. PS is VERY expensive (mind came loaded onto my computer) but there are a lot of great editing tools that don’t cost as much. Photoshop Elements is a good one to start with. Hopefully some other people will chime in with their recommendations!

Helene – Went to your blog and your photos are gorgeous! Hope you’ll submit some before/after her. The camera you bought will be perfect for what you need it for. One tip, if you haven’t already, get used to taking it off of Auto right away and start playing with the manual settings. That was the best thing I ever did once I had my new camera. Forced me to experiment and to learn vs using Auto as a crutch!

Thanks everyone for participating, for your comments and questions

The still life tip is a great one! I like reading other people’s questions for you in the comment section. Is there a way I can see your responses?

Love your blog. I already invested in ACDSee Photo Manager 2009. Should I get another software? This is getting expensive. Also just got a new camera it’s Canon EOS Rebel XS. Do you think I can improve my photos skills with this camera? After all those yrs with point & shoot I have so much to learn. Plse visit my website and any comments are welcome. I really want to improve my food photography skills. Thanks!

Great idea to have this “learning” website where people can see what either the setup is for certain photos or what a before and after photo looks like!

I have the million dollar question: how much is PhotoShop and where do I buy it?

Here I thought I was just an untalented photographer and everyone is EDITING. AHA!
