Which is the best photo editing software out there for the year 2006? Is "photo impact pro ver 11"is any good?

Question

I'm comparing this software with adobe photoshop elements 4.0.

Answer 1

After reviewing the website for Photoimpact pro 11, I am thinking it may have an edge over Elements 4.

I have and use Elements, I also have PSP and a few others. I like elements for some of the things that I do, and I am thinking that the same things I do on elements may very well be done as well or better on Impact.

Here is a link to the comparison chart on their website:

I haven't used it, but i think I am gonna buy it and try it :-)

Answer 2

Don't leave out GIMP. Just because it's freeware does not mean it's not a good powerful tool.
