Hi Barbara
I nearly always go for free software (freeware). Maybe it's my Yorkshire blood. 
I can really strongly recommend PhotoFiltre. It doesn't have the layers though - but I rarely use those. It's probably because I don't know how to make best use of them !!
If you want all singing all dancing there's always the GIMP - but I've never really over come the learning curve there.
BTW have you seen the price of Photoshop? And they wonder why there are pirates about.

Hi Barbara 
Why don't you consider downloading The Gimp. I tend to stick with the ones that I mentioned on the other thread but I had a look at Gimp this week and it seems to do most of the things that PS Elements does and it's free

I've tried and retried Gimp - and tried it again, but for some reason it just doesn't do it for me. I'm a dyed in the wool photoshop freak.
That said though it seems to me that the sensible thing to do is at least try the freebies (gimp in particular), if you feel then that it isn't for you give something like photoshop elements a go - it has most of what ever you would want out of it's big brother photoshop, but at a fraction of the cost - even the older versions are good and if you're lucky someone may even pass an old unused version on.

Hi Barbara
You don't need the CD, you can download it from this site:
http://www.gimp.org/
I've not used it but it looked very much like the other packages in so far as the tools palette, layers windows, etc. were concerned.
It might be worth you having a word with Maggie and/or Paula who, I believe, both use it
