Photoshop can be mighty intimidating when you're just starting out. Lots of us have been there. No doubt several other competent packages can accomplish the same results, and almost always for less $$ than Adobe's latest. The one BIG advantage with PS is that it's the program that sets the standard, and the terminology, for the rest of the pack. One option you might consider is a pre-owned copy of an older PS version (say 4.x or 5.x) on eBay, which can be had for far, far less $$$ than the retail cost of PS 6. FWIW -- and this is a minority opinion, for sure -- you can do just fine without all the ICC color management stuff. I still do nearly all of my work in PS 4. rafe b.
