I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I love it. It's not simple to learn but when you start getting the hang of it, it's amazing what you can do!

For basic consumer stuff iphoto is fine. My dh uses photoshop professionally.

I use Photoshop, because it is the software that I was introduced to when I began designing, restoring, retouching, etc.
I currently have CS2 installed because I only upgrade every 3rd or 4th generation.
I was sorting old software last week and I found my original Adobe Photoshop 4.0 disk! Ahhh, the memories!

I use Adobe CS3 and Corel Paintshop X2 for photo editing.. mixed with Corel Painter X..

My daughter does a lot of photography and photo editing. As a matter of fact, she just set up a web based place to start selling some of her photos. You can see her work at http://www.agilitypup.com - on the homepage should be a link to some of her dog agility photos. She competes in dog agility and photographs the dogs while she is not running.

She grew up with Photoshop Elements starting with version 2. We have versions 3 and 5, but she really liked the version 2. A friend gave us an old version of Photoshop 6 and she began using that when she learned a bit about the "curves" feature - Most of the time though, she is very happy with her Elements software.

I don't use either one very much, my teenage daughters use it often, and prefer Corel.
