We're buying a digital camera for someone for Christmas and thought it would be nice to get some decent software to go with it.
I suspect that in the world of cheaper software (i.e. not Photoshop) there will be one package which offers the best bang-for-the-buck when compared to others.
Can anyone recommend anything?
It might even be free/downloadable, though it would be nice to have something boxed to give with the camera on Christmas day. I just don't want to get any old program from PC World, just so it's boxed.
Thanks.

What is the budget? Photoshop do a cut down version called Photoshop Elements which is very good with lots of free training pages/videos on the web. It can be had for under £60.I suspect that in the world of cheaper software (i.e. not Photoshop) there will be one package which offers the best bang-for-the-buck when compared to others.
2 free options are Google Picasa (very easy to use) and GIMP (powerful but difficult to learn).0 -
