Congrats on your sale Ashton!

Someone on this very site bought some greetings cards from me. How awesome is that!

The sale was a nice one and i would like to put that revenue towards some Editing software.

i plan to spend the winter months priming up my photo biz in a new direction.

i want to shoot people and hopefully people and pets. i love pet photography!

i have a lot to learn.

Lighting and photo editing software. i don't have any.

i don't know where to start and i really want to do this right, having my confidence where it needs to be.

i won't be using a studio so outside shots will be my main mode, but even outside requires lighting in some way at times. i have no idea how i want to do this but it's coming together.

i am not going to get Photoshop at the $500 price tag. i don't want to spend more time editing than i do shooting. i want to get it right in the camera with some effects and light editing. Also i am color blind and when i have edited in the past i was told it was too much, because i don't see color like everyone else it's hard to judge, so effects and blemish control mostly.

Someone suggested Elements. Any thoughts?

Ashton!?!?!?!??!?!?!
Anyone?
