Adobe CS4

Now that I have the D90, I need to learn to use real photo software.

Is this a good deal?

buy Creative Suite 4 standard DVD Box from Adobe, 65019371

The whole CS4 suite may be a bit more extensive than you need. Photoshop will probably be a more than good enough start (although, they all have a steep learning curve).

That's a good deal... If you know anyone who are students they can get the Adobe products dirt cheap. You can JUST buy Photoshop CS4 as well.

Sounds About right... I just think spending 600+ on Photo Editing software, when your not a professional seems CRAZY!!!

I've been using photoshop and similar programs since I was 12 or so, waaaay before I even touched a camera... Made a career out of it for a few years in highschool.

I have CS4 and Lightroom. For most photos Lightroom is all I use. It's also a great catalog. Has most Photoshop features built in. You should check it out.
