Whats the Best photo editor ?

I use photoshop cs3 because it is so versitile, you can edit pictures, make graphics everything it is the dogs privates! download the 30 day trail first and then google tutorials there are 1000's available to help you learn how to use it then if you like save up and buy it.

photoshop is the industry standard it cost 600 bucks but a free 30 day trial is available paint.net is a free online photo editor

Depends what you want to do to your photos. Photoshop for editing images athstetically and professionally(for the expert). Photoshop elements for editing your photos without the need for some really advanced features, basically a scaled down version and much cheaper. Now if this is for a different need like editing images "scientifically" say for detecting faces ect, MatLab or a programming language like java will do every analysis, editing, whatever you want, obviously.

Gimp (http://www.gimp.org) (free and almost like photoshop) Photoshop (http://www.adobe.com) (commercial) Picasa (http://picasa.google.com) (free) (from google and some basic features) ACDSee (http://www.acdsee.com) (commercial and pretty good) havok
