I was wondering what would be a good program for playing with pictures and making good slide shows. I am looking for something that can customize pics and adjust them out better. Just trying to find out what yall think is good to use. Thanks

Photoshop is the best, but it is $700. Gimp is free but there are no manuals. http://gimp.org/

slide shows and playing with pictures - definitely Photoshop, but it's pricey!

http://www.irfanview.com/ is a great solution.

For a list of things it does - including slideshows - check here: http://www.irfanview.com/main_what_is_engl.htm

I edit in irfanview and drop them into powerpoint.

here is info on how to make a slideshow using Irfanview (which is free picture editing software btw):
