Which digital camera software
Discussion
After playing about with the new camera I have decided that the Cannon software is a bit poor and its not very easy to use or intuitve. I've got a copy of ACDSee which I like but its about 3 years old now.
Anyone recommend a good piece of software that allows photos to be edited and is easy to use? I will probably go out and buy some but I would like some advice from people who have used the software first!
Cheers

You could also get Photoshop LE - not as many features as on the full £xxx 
kit, but still excellent. And about a tenth of the price IIRC.
Mind you, you did say easy to use - Photoshop is easy to use if you buy a good guide to it (Amazon do some good ones) or you've trained in how to use it, but it's not very intuitive for the first-time user. Paint Shop Pro is easier to use and the results are also pretty good.
Just my 2p's worth.

FREE
ok it can be a bit tricky to get started with but theres plenty of help on the web.
download The Gimp - www.gimp.org
( you need two files for windows)
its fast opens photoshop files and has a huge range of filters+effects.
oh and its free ! (it can occasionally crash but its great for digital photo's)
just use the right click mouse button over the image.

It's just a professional tool with much more features, bells and whistles that the average home user needs.
You could also look at Adobe Photoshop Elements which is easier to use than LE. You can usually find demos on PC mag CDs or download from Adobe:
www.adobe.com/products/photoshopel/main.html
Costs about £72.
