What is a good post processing software that isn't overly expensive?

[ilzho]

Hello:

I am starting to shoot my dslr in the 'raw' mode, but I do not have any post processing software.

I do not want to spend a lot on it as I am just a hobbyist, but don't really know what the options are out there?

I have heard of lightroom software and most people like it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

David

Elements 14 is good, and often available for way less than $99 - even at office supply stores.  Meanwhile, try Fast Stone Image Viewer or Pixlr.  Both have free download versions (more complete versions are available for purchase).  Pixlr editing is not great, but it has fun features for greeting cards, etc.  Many of our Palmerton Camera Club members use picassa (sp?), but I really don't like it.
