So I currently have not been do much of any post photo work on the comp. I would like to get Photoshop to start producing high quality photos but I have no experience using it. Is it hard to get started or do you guys use any other programs that you prefer over photoshop? thanks for the feedback
 
I watched these videos in high school and its pretty much how I learned, took an image processing class in college as well but this series pretty much taught me everything I needed to know, learn the basics and what all the tools do first because he moves quite quickly, but they're still very useful and get you into a good workflow habit.http://www.youtube.com/show/yousuckatphotoshop?s=1

 
Like other people have said, I definitely recommend Lightroom. For $299 too it's definitely worth it.

I personally use Lightroom for all my bulk editing stuff. Like, say I go to my mountain and take about 500 good shots. I can import them straight into my Lightroom catalog and just go through them easily one right after another. I use photoshop too, but for all my specific needs. Like, if I take a great shot that I love, I'll fine tune it until it's perfect in photoshop. I love Lightroom though and use it for almost everything anyways. I mean, unless I'm doing HDR (rare for me) then I pretty much stick with lightroom. Well, of course I use photoshop for "photoshopping" Tanner Talls head onto stuff but not too much else. Haha.

It looks like Lightroom is on sale on amazon for about $140:

Not too bad, if you ask me.
