And there are probably loads I have no even considered.
I am new to this and am more interested in the results than the package so if anybody has any experiences any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank
Ian
I have just started using Irfanview after it was recommended here - it looks as if it has lots of things for me to explore.....

Many thanks. I actually got something with the camera (purchased the other week) but it is limited and had a really tacky user interface. Also, I did not get a Nikon so the Nikon package probably wont support the Olympus RAW format - but many thnaks for the offer.
A lot of the concepts are new to me so I was thinking of trying to select “the right” package to start with and stick with it through learning what is involved. I had a look at GIMP (the free one) and it seems a bit “unstructured”. Adobe always worries me because they seem to tie you into sticking with their software (as in the Lightroom method of saving all your work in Adobe’s Lightroom’s own proprietary database rather than actually modifying your picture – so you always have to use their Lightroom to view/print/whatever the pic or you have lost the work !! I’d prefer something that actually changes the pic so you could e-mail it to somebody else to view if you want.
Not being an expert I don’t think I need the full Photoshop level thing but don’t want anything too basic either. I was looking at Corel Paintshop Pro (?) which looks a reasonable price.
