Check out open source software like GIMP. I've never used it myself though. But for the price of free, it's worth checking out. http://www.gimp.org/ |

I'm not really familiar with working with RAW files, but there's apparently a plug-in for GIMP http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ |

That said, Gimp is no different than PhotoShop when it comes to plug-ins, except most plug-ins that are standard on PS are not on Gimp. Just a simple google will get you what you need 99% of the time though. Personally now I use CS4 PhotoShop, because I use Illustrator and many others for other needs. Once you get in the mindset of Adobe, its easier to stay there. Luckily I get it free from work. | ||

All my work goes through Photoshop and Lightroom. Around $1000 if you buy both outright, but if you work or know anyone in the education field, you can get both for under $300 with an education discount.
