Post-Production Software?
What's the best software/combo that helps in editing pictures, besides Photoshop. I've never been into editing my shots, but some of them would look better with some tweaks.
Thanks.

Photoshop CS3 for me, but a lot of people like lightroom.
There is also The Gimp & Paint.net

I prefer CS4 (cause I'm used to it). I've also heard a lot of good things about Lightroom. I think you can get the new beta for it for free for a year or so if I'm not mistaken.

I know i'm being the odd one out but if you can't take a picture that looks the way you would want it to look like after editing you need more practice.
/end rant.

 Oh, and to the OP, if you need a free one, Paint.net, like Vroom_Skies said, (http://www.getpaint.net/) is a great open source program! Grant it, it's not as good as CS4, but it's good for getting around.

PS Lightroom is best, but if you want something free GIMP is good.

I would suggest Gimp, personally, I couldn't get used to it but hey, it's free.

Lightroom and photoshop cs4 for me. Though I use the former a lot more, cs4 is more for the advanced editing.
