Photoshop
- I've been using it since around version 6 (I think) and while I haven't upgraded to every version (I'm not that wealthy lol), I do have CS5. And it offers all the features I need plus a lot of extras. I love the filters and puppet warp is just too cool for words.

Photoshop Elements
- I wish I had enough money for Photoshop (and, if I did, I doubt I would be smart enough to figure it out), but Elements does a pretty good job for my needs. I'm able to manually make changes and, for things that completely confuse me, there's always the quick fix menu to turn to. It's a reasonable price and has plenty of features for the amateur photographer.

Aperture
- I use Aperture. It seemed the easiest to transition to from iPhoto. I have to say that I'm fairly pleased with it, though there seem to be a lot of capabilities that Photoshop has that I need. I have a copy of CS5, but the learning curve seems huge and I just haven't had the time to put into it.

Fireworks
- I've used it forever and I love it :) I can do simple things, and more involved things. I use it for all of my graphics, and photo editing.

Photoshop
- I know just enough how to use this to be dangerous.

Photoshop Elements
- Streamlined version of full CS. I don't need the graphics design features and PSE gives me what I need quickly.
