Once I had stepped into the world of digital photography, I was hooked.

I purchased some photographic editing software. I chose Corel Paint Shop Pro, and I started experimenting with my photos. The software comes with an automatic correction tool for fixing things like sharpness, brightness etc. It also has image cropping and resizing. Very useful for an amateur photographer like myself.

Ease of use
Photo editing software that is intuitive to use or easy to learn. To ease the transition from beginner to confident user, the software should have tutorials to show you how to get the most out of the various functions.

Working with formats
Check what formats are supported. Many common ones are JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, and PNG are among the most common.

Editing features
The software should include features for you to make adjustments to your photos. Changing the amount of brightness and contrast, straightening images and cropping are becoming more essential to the average user. Adding text to photos or effects are a fun way to be creative with your work.

Photo sharing
In this era of the internet and social networks, it is important to be able to change image sizes and resolution. This enables the user to easily share their photo's on sites such as Flickr and Facebook.

Organizing
The software may come with organizational capacities, such as displaying thumbnails, loading bulk photos from folders. Adding ratings, favourites and tags can be helpful for managing your photos.
