Software

Photoshop box

Adobe Photoshop 5.5.
This fantastic program never ceases to amaze me and I use it every day. I can spend hours just tinkering with the plethora of options that it has built into it. Not cheap to buy, but, in my opinion, Photoshop is the very best of the Graphic & Photo Enhancement programs available.

Paint Shop Pro Box

JASC Paint Shop Pro
A bit of a poor cousin to Photoshop, but considering the huge price difference, it is well worth the money. Paint Shop is very user friendly and extremely popular.

Dreamweaver  Box

Dreamweaver
The authoring program I used to build this Web Site.... Simply the Best!
