By "photoshop" software, you mean editing software.

Photoshop require serious learning, so if you don't want to study, you will need just a photo editor.

You have some choices...

For free, you can use Google's Picasa or GIMP. If you want to pay for slightly more powerful software, you can get Adobe Lightroom or Apple's Aperture. Both are $199.

While fantastic programs, Lightroom and Aperture are more of a photo processing program, vice more intricate editing.

Photoshop Elements might be a better bet.

Zippy, CS4 have any huge advantages over 3? I must admit I haven't really been paying much attention, but I've been pondering whether I should look into the upgrade...
