Thanks all, as a rank newbie I appreciate the civility I have seen so far on this forum. Not like some others I have joined. I really think that I could enjoy this new challenge with a little help from you. I will spend the next days reading tutorials and playing with photos until I get a camera. Thanks again!

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I downloaded it and have been playing around with some old bad cellphone photos. It will take some practice, but this might be just what I was looking for. I am assuming I will have to get a book to help me out a little, show what can be done, etc. Nothing in-depth. Any suggestions?

I am a retiree and not real high tech savvy, don't even have a camera, yet. I am somewhat familiar with film photography, I owned a Canon AE-1 many years ago, but never a digital camera. I will be getting a Canon A720IS soon and will want to do some basic processing including purple fringe removal, noise reduction/removal, but nothing fancier (at this point). Is this a good application for my needs? Is there something simpler I should start with? I have read the faq's and really don't know what to look for with search. All that I know about digital is what I have read up on over the last couple weeks, and what has carried over from my film camera experience. Is there some sort of "instruction manual" for using this application? I really should have just asked the previous question, that's really what I'm looking for.
