Photoshop, because its the best ? I have been using it for many years.
It is a professional software with many options.

Thanks but doesn't photoshop cost a lot of money to buy? Or are there free downloads?

I use Photoshop CS4.
Would love a newer version, but I doubt I will find someone to give me it for free

I use Photoshop, if I had to use a free alternative I would use GIMP it has a lot of good features but the interface isnt for me.

GIMP is probably the closest photoshop 1:1 replacement. It is completely full featured and free. It is at gimp.org

You can also try Paint.Net. I find it easier to use than GIMP or Photoshop, but I don't think it has quite as many features as either of the others. You can get it from getpaint.net

The best part is both of those are free.
