Crop, rotate...adjust histogram?

After a Summer of picture taking with a digital camera, you might be considering some software to help you get the best from your snaps. Mark Sparrow from Digital Camera Magazine chats about what is available - from the free to the professional. It's worth having a look at what came with your digital camera - most come with some sort of editing and organising software, which can get you started. Otherwise Google's Picasa is a free download. If you want to splash out, both Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro offer a wide-range of editing tools and ways to organise your pictures for around £60 (prices vary). For professionals and serious amateurs Photoshop is the industry standard, but normally retails at over £500.
