Editing software for 40D???

(attila916) · (attila916) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 12-10-2008, 8:46 PM

Is it worth learning the Canon software bundle included with the 40D for editing and resizing images or should I stick with purchasing software like photoshop? I know some of the higher end editing programs are complicated so I would rather learn this once if that makes sense.

Opinions welcome!

Ok, thanks. I ordered elements 7 with the $20 rebate.

Care to recommend a book to go along with it since I hear it does not come with a manual?

Attila I have the CS3 Suite if you can cancel your order I will load it on to your computer for free. No need to pay for software that a buddy has.
