I believe that there are many different computer photoshops available. We have seen some neat photo tricks on this site and now I would love to know what photoshop everyone uses to create/enhance their photos with.
The one that I have been using is Adobe Photoshop elements.

I use Graphic Converter from Lemke Software. It isn't as fancy as Photoshop but it is only $40.00 and it resizes and crops just fine. I have the Photoshop demo that does everything but you cannot save your work in the demo. I am too tempted to make artwork out of the photos with all of the options available there. Lots of fun to play with though.

I use PaintShop Pro (7.0), apart from the obvious resizing etc it also has possibilities to use various kinds of filters (see the picture of the Citroën bus on the BdB page) and effects on pictures. A feature that I really like is that PSP handles inches, centimeters and pixels which makes it easy to crop pictures for use on the site. Apart from that, additional plug-ins can be installed which can increase functionality even further.

I use Adobe Photoshop, but I only have an old version, the 5.5. Enough for me though.

I have full-strength Adobe Photoshop 7.0. It's expensive, but it is unequalled for image manipulation.

I also use photoshop, now the 7.0 version. I learn to use it in 1998, when I had to present the final project in my career.

One of the nice things about Photoshop is that I can use the brushes to compensate for my lack of experience as a model photographer when I am working under a deadline.
I can eliminate unwanted shadows on a model that I perhaps didn't light correctly (I have just gone to a 4-lamp setup to provide more even fill lighting). I can also bump up the saturation on a shot where I might have washed out the color with an improper exposure.
Then, of course, is the power Photoshop gives me to create new images, like the ones that were on the 87thScale.info home page recently.

I like the option to be able to adjust light levels and sharpness. When one scales down a picture you lose some detail and it can be brought back.I also (I humbly confess) have used the software to erase unwanted dust particles on a model that otherwise stand out like a cherry on a cream pie.

I also like in Photoshop the fact that you can change the different color levels. Depending of what light you've used when you've taken the pictures, the colors of the model on the picture may be really different from the real color. This tool help to re-adjust it.
